Aspiration thrombectomy of M2 middle cerebral artery occlusion to treat acute ischemic stroke: A core lab-adjudicated subset analysis from the COMPLETE registry and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the benefits of aspiration thrombectomy for treating acute ischemic stroke caused by proximal large vessel occlusion have been established, fewer data are available for evaluating aspiration thrombectomy of distal occlusion. The objective of this study was to evaluate, by means of prospectively collected data, the safety and efficacy of aspiration thrombectomy in patients with M2 middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion.

Methods

This study is a subset analysis of a global prospective multicenter observational registry that included patients who presented with either anterior or posterior large vessel occlusion and were eligible for mechanical thrombectomy using the Penumbra System including the Penumbra 3D Revascularization Device. For this analysis, all pa
