Endovascular Thrombectomy Technique Optimization: A SVIN Registry Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Achieving excellent recanalization (Modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2c/3) in fewer attempts improves clinical outcomes. Previous studies suggest that switching techniques after a failed first pass may enhance reperfusion rates. This study evaluates whether technique switching improves subsequent reperfusion in a large multicenter registry.

Methods

We analyzed retrospective and prospective SVIN (Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology) registry data from 12 US centers (October 2014-December 2021) involving endovascular therapy for M1 or internal carotid artery-terminus (ICA-T) occlusions. Patients with at least 2 recanalization attempts using stent retriever (SR), contact aspiration (CA), or combined technique (CT) were included. Primary outco
