Table 2 Overview over the aspiration flow rates in Millilters / minute (mL/min) with the different devices inserted in the guide catheter at 50, 75 and 100 mmHg pressure within the phantom. The shaft values apply once the outer stent sheath is completely pushed out of the distal end of the balloon catheter and only the shaft remains within the catheter
