Use of heparinized saline flush during endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke; a survey of clinical practice in the Netherlands.

We provide insight in the use of heparinized flush during EVT in the Netherlands. Total amounts of heparin administered via flush fluids may go up to 13,500 IU/h. With this paper we intend to set a starting for future research and development of guidelines on the use of heparinized flush fluids during EVT for AIS.
