In our real-world clinical experience, leading microwire use was infrequently necessary with the T7 delivery catheter. Successful AC delivery and complication rates were similar with and without microwire use in single-pass T7 thrombectomies. Initial pass with T7 may be performed without use of leading microwire, reserving microwire use for refractory cases or known difficult-to-navigate vasculature.
