P137/17 Incidence and outcome of perforations occuring during Medium-Vessel Occlusion thrombectomy compared to Large-Vessel occlusion thrombectomy

ConclusionsIn our cohort, perforation was approximately twice as frequent in MeVO than in LVO thrombectomy. Considering the rather benign natural course of MeVO stroke, physicians should be avoiding perforation during MeVO thrombectomy by all means. Efforts to optimize the procedure may focus on navigation beyond the occlusion site and retraction of stent-retriever/aspiration catheter.Disclosure of InterestNothing to disclose
