Combined technique versus stent-retriever alone: Interaction analysis of angioarchitectural and technical features.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We aimed to explore if anatomical and technical features could interact and favor the chances of reperfusion according to the treatment strategy: combined technique (CoT) of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) with contact aspiration and stent-retriever (SR) versus SR alone.

Methods

Retrospective analysis of a prospective MT database for carotid terminus or MCA-M1 occlusion, first-line SR alone or CoT, and angiographic run with SR deployed on the first pass. The primary analysis involved the interaction between clinical and angiographic characteristics and first-line MT modality on first-pass effect (FPE; first pass eTICI2c-3).

Results

A total of 300 consecutive patients were included (SR alone, n = 210 vs CoT, n = 90). Baseline characteristics as
