ABSTRACT: Background
The benefit of endovascular thrombectomy for medium-vessel occlusion (MeVO) strokes is unclear. We used 90-day home time to explore outcomes in patients with MeVO versus large-vessel occlusions treated with endovascular thrombectomy.Methods
Data are from the QuICR (Quality Improvement and Clinical Research) provincial stroke registry and linked administrative data to identify patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy in our center from January 2015 to December 2020. Imaging data were scored by 2-physician consensus. We defined MeVO as occlusion beyond and including M2-middle cerebral artery, A2-anterior cerebral artery, or P2-posterior cerebral artery segments. Successful reperfusion was defined as Thrombolysis in Cerebral ischemia grades (≥2b/3). The prim
