Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Interventional Neuroradiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Mechanical thrombectomy has transformed stroke management.
  • Uncertainty remains regarding its efficacy in specific patient groups, particularly for distal vasculature occlusions like M2 branches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy for solitary M2 segment clots.
  • To determine the technical feasibility and clinical outcomes of this intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on patients with M2 occlusions.
  • Collection of demographic, radiological, procedural, and outcome data.

Main Results:

  • 106 patients with M2 occlusions were identified.
  • High rates of successful reperfusion (TICI ≥2b in 90.5%) were achieved.
  • Favorable functional outcomes (mRS 0-2 in 54.6%) and a manageable safety profile (4.7% symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage) were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Mechanical thrombectomy is technically feasible and highly successful for solitary M2 clots.
  • The procedure demonstrates a favorable safety profile in this patient cohort.
  • Mechanical thrombectomy should be considered for patients with confirmed M2 occlusions.
