Abstract
Background
There is a lack of substantial evidence supporting the safety and effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy in treating distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs).
Objective
To summarize the current evidence regarding endovascular thrombectomy for DMVOs.
Methods
We conducted a narrative review of key articles related to the diagnosis and management of DMVOs. We manually searched PubMed and Google Scholar from January 2010 to July 2023, and only included articles published in the English language.
Results
While diagnosing and treating DMVOs is tricky due to access limitations and potential limited benefit from mechanical clot removal, recent improvements in catheter and retrieval technology suggest that endovascular thrombectomy might be a potential treatment option. However, more high-quality research is needed to confirm its effectiveness for DMVOs.
Conclusion
Experts disagree on how to classify DMVOs and what the best mode of endovascular treatment is.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases publishes original papers on basic and clinical science related to the fields of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. The Journal also features review articles, controversies, methods and technical notes, selected case reports and other original articles of special nature. Its editorial mission is to focus on prevention and repair of cerebrovascular disease. Clinical papers emphasize medical and surgical aspects of stroke, clinical trials and design, epidemiology, stroke care delivery systems and outcomes, imaging sciences and rehabilitation of stroke. The Journal will be of special interest to specialists involved in caring for patients with cerebrovascular disease, including neurologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists.
