Mechanical thrombectomy with second-generation devices for acute cerebral middle artery M2 segment occlusion: A meta-analysis.

CONCLUSION: Mechanical thrombectomy performed with second-generation thrombectomy devices for M2 occlusion can provide a good functional outcome as well as satisfying recanalization. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the symptomatic intracerebral hematoma and mortality rates, suggesting this procedure is as safe in M2 occlusion as in M1 occlusion.
