This study assessed the efficacy, safety, and functional outcomes of EVT in M2 occlusion patients, examining differences in outcomes based on the dominance of the occluded segment (DomM2 vs. Non-DomM2).

Their management is under debate, with no consensus on their follow-up strategy, which can cause anxiety in patients. Our aim is to evaluate the impact of diagnosis and imaging follow-up on daily activities and quality of life.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Cerebral edema (CED) is associated with poorer outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The aim of the study was to investigate the factors contributing to greater early CED formation in patients with AIS who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT) and its association with functional outcome.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter cohort study of patients with an anterior circulation AIS undergoing EVT.
