Endovascular Treatment of Middle Cerebral Artery M2 Occlusion Strokes: Clinical and Procedural Predictors of Outcomes

Abstract

Advanced age and time to treatment beyond 6 h from symptom onset were not predictive of clinical outcome with thrombectomy. NIHSS score above 15 was a strong predictor of outcome. Direct aspiration and primary stent retriever thrombectomy showed similar efficacy.
