Clinical Impact of Reperfusion Techniques and Occlusion Sites in Thrombectomy: Insights from the ASSIST Stroke Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mechanical thrombectomy has changed the landscape of acute ischemic stroke treatment, offering improved outcomes for patients with large vessel occlusions. The interplay between reperfusion techniques and occlusion sites remains a critical consideration in treatment decisions. This study investigates the impact of primary reperfusion techniques-stent retriever classic, stent retriever combination with aspiration, and direct aspiration-on procedural and clinical outcomes at different occlusion sites.

Methods

Using data from the ASSIST registry, a prospective multinational initiative, patients with anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusions (n = 1477) were included. Three primary occlusion sites-M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery,
