Summary
Mechanical thrombectomy recently has revolutionized the treatment of stroke. Trials have
demonstrated the superiority of mechanical thrombectomy in large vessel occlusions, such as
in the intracranialinternal carotid artery and proximal, middle cerebral artery (M1), middle
cerebral artery trunk (M1), have relatively high rates of revascularization and favorable
clinical outcomes after MT. , However second-order branches of the middle cerebral artery
(M2) occlusions (postbifurcation in the Sylvian fissure) were underrepresented or not
represented in the trials. Posing a more significant technical challenge to the available
endovascular devices because of the smaller size and tortuosity of these arteries and the
greater likelihood of recanalization with intravenous thrombolysis, the overall risk-benefit
remains uncertain.
