The average diameter of the dural sinuses is 8 mm compared to the average size of the middle cerebral artery 3-4 mm. The largest available SR in the United States is 6 mm, and the largest outer diameter of available aspiration catheters is 2-3 mm. Due to the larger size of the dural sinuses, using two SRs can result in more efficient recanalization and less radiation.
