This PRISMA style flow chart delineates the
dispensation of records in the technical brief. In the identification stage, 2,033 records were identified through the literature search and 21 records were identified through other sources. After duplicates were removed, 1,626 records were screened and 1248 subsequently excluded. Thus 378 full text articles were assessed for eligibility and 291 were excluded for the following reasons: 25 were not in humans, 39 were not in English, 18 were not in the neurovasculature, 133 did not define the specific device used, 27 were not in acute stroke, 18 were not attributable to the device, 9 full text articles could not be obtained, and 22 were duplicate reports. Thus, 87 studies were included in qualitative synthesis.
