Background Endovascular thrombectomy has demonstrated benefit for patients with acute
ischemic stroke from proximal large vessel occlusion. However, limited evidence is available …

Introduction The benefit of endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EMT) for acute distal
occlusions of the middle cerebral artery M2 segment is incompletely defined. The aim of this …

Background and purpose The efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for M2
segment occlusion of middle cerebral artery in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) was …

BACKGROUND The differentiation between intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) and
intracranial embolism as the immediate cause of acute ischemic stroke requiring …

Purpose The evidence for endovascular therapy and choice of technique in distal middle
cerebral artery (MCA) M2 segment occlusions in acute ischemic stroke remains …

Background Over half of patients who receive intravenous tissue plasminogen activator for
middle cerebral artery division (MCA-M2) occlusion do not recanalize, leaving a large …

Background The benefit of mechanical thrombectomy for an acute ischemic stroke involving
M2 segment occlusion is not clear, especially when performed with second-generation …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There is no consensus on endovascular treatment for
terminal ICA. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the comparative safety and efficacy …

Background The efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in the treatment of occlusions of the
second segment of the middle cerebral artery (M2) has not been firmly established. Methods …

Background Endovascular clot retrieval (ECR) is the standard of care for acute ischaemic
stroke due to large vessel occlusion. However, isolated occlusion of the M2 segment of the …
