Angiographical Jaggy Sign of Remnant M2 Occlusion during Acute Mechanical Thrombectomy
In this study, we focused on the angiographical findings of remnant occlusion. Methods: Among 83 patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for the acute internal carotid artery or proximal middle cerebral artery (M1) occlusion, 25 patients (30%) intraoperatively exhibited the remnant M2 occlusion, in spite of the recanalization of the other M2.
