Incidence of intracranial hemorrhagic complications after anterior circulation endovascular thrombectomy in relation to occlusion site: a nationwide observational register study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a potentially severe complication of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). However, the relationship between the incidence and severity of ICH and vascular occlusion location is not well described.

Objective

To present a comprehensive analysis of subtypes of ICHs and their relationship to the occlusion site following EVT in the anterior circulation.

Methods

All patients with anterior circulation vessel occlusion stroke (internal carotid (ICA) and middle cerebral artery's first (M1) and later segments (M2 and beyond)) registered in the two Swedish national quality registers for stroke care and endovascular therapy during 2015-2020 were included. Hemorrhagic complications identified on imaging within 36 hours post-EVT were classifi
