Prognostic value of recanalization attempts in endovascular therapy for M2 segment middle cerebral artery occlusions
BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence suggesting efficacy of endovascular therapy for M2 occlusions of the middle cerebral artery. More than one recanalization attempt is often required to achieve successful reperfusion in M2 occlusions, associated with general concerns about the safety of multiple maneuvers in these medium vessel occlusions.
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the number of recanalization attempts and functional outcomes in M2 occlusions in comparison with large vessel occlusions (LVO).
METHODS: Retrospective multicenter cohort study of patients who underwent endovascular therapy for primary M2 occlusions. Patients were enrolled in the German Stroke Registry at 1 of 25 comprehensive stroke centers between 2015 and 2021. The study cohort was subdivided into patients with unsuccessful reperfusion (mTICI 0-2a) and successful reperfusion (mTICI 2b-3) at first, second, third, fourth, or ⩾fifth recanalization attempt. Primary outcome was 90-day functional independence defined as modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2. Safety outcome was the occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. Internal carotid artery or M1 occlusions were defined as LVO and served as comparison group.
RESULTS: A total of 1078 patients with M2 occlusion were included. Successful reperfusion was observed in 87.1% and 90-day functional independence in 51.9%. The rate of functional independence decreased gradually with increasing number of recanalization attempts (p < 0.001). In both M2 occlusions and LVO, successful reperfusion within three attempts was associated with greater odds of functional independence, while success at ⩾fourth attempt was not. Patients with ⩾4 attempts exhibited higher rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage in M2 occlusions (6.5% vs 2.7%, p = 0.02) and LVO (7.2% vs 3.5%, p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: This study suggests a clinical benefit of successful reperfusion within three recanalization attempts in endovascular therapy for M2 occlusions, which was similar in LVO. Our findings reduce concerns about the risk-benefit ratio of multiple attempts in M2 medium vessel occlusions.
DATA ACCESS STATEMENT: The data that support the findings of this study are available on reasonable request after approval of the German Stroke Registry (GSR) steering committee.
