Mechanical thrombectomy in MCA-mainstem occlusion in patients with low NIHSS scores.

Conclusion MTE might lead to a significantly improved clinical outcome also for patients with low NIHSS score due to M1 segment occlusion. Periprocedural complications appeared infrequently. These results encourage further evaluation of the benefit-risk profile of MTE compared to standard treatment in patients with low NIHSS scores in future randomized trials.
