Degree of subarachnoid hemorrhage affects clinical outcome after mechanical thrombectomy for M2 occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The prognostic relevance of post-mechanical thrombectomy (MT) subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate whether the thickness of the SAH clot affects clinical outcomes following MT for M2 occlusion.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on a prospective database of patients who underwent MT for isolated M2 occlusion. Patients were categorized into three groups based on the presence and thickness of SAH. Clinical and angiographical characteristics and outcomes were compared.

Results

Of the 36 patients included, SAH was observed in 15 (42%). When comparing patients with no SAH (grade 0) or thin SAH (grade 1) (N = 28) with those who had thick SAH (grade 2) (N = 8), patients with Grade 2 SAH required a higher num
