Thrombectomy for secondary distal, medium vessel occlusions of the posterior circulation: seeking complete reperfusion

Conclusion
Thrombectomy for secondary posterior circulation DMVO seems to be safe and technically feasible. Even though thrombi that have migrated preprocedurally may be easier to retract, successful reperfusion can be achieved in the majority of patients with secondary DMVO of the P2 and P3 segment.
