Effect of catheter size and use of a balloon guide catheter (BGC) on distal middle cerebral artery (MCA) flow control and on flow reversal during aspiration. (A) The percentage reduction in MCA flow of the aspiration catheters when used with a conventional guide catheter (CGC) (blue) or a BGC (red). (B) Distal MCA flow during aspiration with each catheter with both a CGC (blue) and BGC (red) during aspiration. CGC=blue, BGC=red, antegrade=forward flow, retrograde=flow reversal. *Denotes a significant difference between the CGC and BGC groups.+Denotes a significant difference between Millipede 088 and all other groups.
