Hemolysis complications during mechanical thrombectomy procedures lack standardized prevention and management protocols

Interventional radiologists and cardiologists performing mechanical thrombectomy procedures struggle with hemolysis (red blood cell destruction) caused by device-induced shear stress, leading to patient complications, procedure delays, and lack of evidence-based solutions. Current devices and techniques don't adequately address this problem, forcing clinicians to rely on trial-and-error approaches without standardized guidelines or preventive technologies.
