Medium-vessel occlusions (MeVOs), that is, occlusions of the M2/3 middle cerebral artery,
A2/3 anterior cerebral artery, and P2/3 posterior cerebral artery segments, account for 25 …

Background The benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and efficacy of different first-line
MT techniques remain unclear for distal and medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs). In this …

Background Acute ischaemic stroke due to distal medium vessel occlusion (AIS-DMVO)
causes significant morbidity. Endovascular thrombectomy advancement has made treating …

Background and Purpose: Thrombectomy with stent retriever and direct aspiration are
equally effective in the endovascular treatment of anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke …

Background and purpose There is an ongoing debate about whether a direct aspiration first-
pass technique (ADAPT) or stent retriever should be used as the first-pass mechanical …

Background and Purpose: The safety and benefit of mechanical thrombectomy in the
treatment of acute ischemic stroke patients with M2 segment middle cerebral artery …

Background The predictors of successful reperfusion and the effect of reperfusion after
endovascular treatment (EVT) for M2 occlusions have not been well studied. We aimed to …

The efficacy of using mechanical thrombectomy for proximal large vessel occlusions has
been demonstrated in multiple large-scale trials and has further raised the question of its …

Background Successful direct thromboaspiration (DTA) is related to several factors such as
clot consistency, size, and location. It has also been demonstrated recently that the angle of …

Background The M1 middle cerebral artery (MCA) commonly bifurcates into M2 superior and
M2 inferior segments. However, MCA anatomy is highly variable rendering classification for …
