Endovascular Thrombectomy in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke With Simultaneous Multivessel Occlusions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Simultaneous multivessel occlusions (MVOs) are a rare condition, which may be encountered during endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, associated factors, and outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke and MVO who underwent EVT.

Methods

Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who received EVT between September 2014 and April 2021 were included. Acute MVO was defined as simultaneous occlusions of ≥2 intracranial or extracranial major vessels in either bilateral anterior circulation or anterior plus posterior circulation. Patients' baseline characteristics and outcome of MVO were analyzed.

Results

Of 602 patients with acute ischemic stroke (mean age, 71±13 years; male, 53.1%) who
