Insights into Angiographic Recanalization of Large Arterial Occlusion: Institutional Experience with Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in humans. Most strokes are ischemic in nature and early recanalization of occluded vessels determines good outcomes. Recanalization of occluded vessels depends on many angiographic and demographic features. These factors need to be identified for better patient overall outcomes. Better preoperative knowledge of factors can help in customizing our treatment approach and explaining the prognosis to the guardians of the patients. We aim to share our institutional experience with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for stroke and studied factors that affect an angiographic recanalization of vessels
