Impact of thrombus length on recanalization and clinical outcome following mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke

摘要

Purpose The impact of thrombus length on recanalization in IV thrombolysis for acute intracranial artery occlusion has been well studied. Here we analyzed the influence of thrombus length on the number of thrombectomy maneuvers needed for recanalization, intraprocedural complications, recanalization success, and clinical outcome after mechanical thrombectomy.
