P-017 M2 Occlusions as a Target for Endovascular Therapy: Comprehensive Analysis of Diffusion/Perfusion MRI, Angiography, and Clinical Outcomes

Conclusion In patients undergoing ERT compared to those with M1 occlusions, patients with M2 occlusions presented with smaller infarcts and developed less haemorrhage. In patients with M2 occlusions, successful reperfusion with ERT was associated with smaller final infarcts, decreased infarct expansion, and improved clinical outcomes. IV tPA was not sufficient in recanalizing many M2 occlusions. Patients with M2 occlusions benefit from ERT when tPA cannot be given or has failed to recanalise the vessel. Disclosures S. Sheth: None.
