Objective: There are insufficient coherent reports on mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for occlusion of the second segment of the middle cerebral artery (M2 occlusion) in a real-world clinical setting. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of MT for M2 occlusions and compared the primary thrombectomy strategies (stent retriever, aspiration catheter, and combined technique) to analyze factors predicting good functional outcomes.Methods: We evaluated background factors, preprocedural factors, procedural factors, and procedural time for patients who underwent MT for M2 occlusions from our retrospective cohort. According to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score three months after MT, patients were divided into good (mRS ≤2) and poor (mRS ≥3) prognosis groups.Results: A total of 29 patients (median age, 78 years; 11 [37.9%] females) were included in the study. In this cohort, rates of successful reperfusion, thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) 3, postprocedural hemorrhage (PPH), and symptomatic PPH were 82.8, 34.5, 31.0, and 0%, respectively. Good prognoses were achieved in 13 (45%) cases. A prognostic factor of MT for M2 occlusions is TICI 3 from multivariate analysis (OR, 11.7; 95% CI, 1.003–136; p = 0.0497). There was no statistically significant difference in the functional outcome three months after MT based on the choice of the primary thrombectomy strategy.Conclusion: MT for M2 occlusions is a reliable and relatively safe procedure. The presence of TICI 3 was a prognostic factor in this cohort. Future studies are warranted to investigate the optimal thrombectomy strategy for medium vessel occlusion.

Rebleeding from a ruptured intracranial aneurysm has poor outcomes. Although numerous factors are associated with rebleeding, studies on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) on hemodynamic parameters associated with early rebleeding are scarce. In particular, no report of rebleeding in ultra-early phase exists. We aimed to elucidate the specific hemodynamic parameters associated with ultra-early rebleeding using CFD. In this study, the rebleeding group included patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) that rebled within 6 h from the onset. The control group included patients without rebleeding, observed for >10 h following the initial rupture. Clinical images after initial rupture and before rebleeding were used to build 3D vessel models for hemodynamic analysis focusing on the following parameters: time-averaged wall shear stress (WSS), normalized WSS, low shear area, oscillatory shear index, relative residence time, pressure loss coefficient, and aneurysmal inflow rate coefficient (AIRC). Five and 15 patients in the rebleeding and control groups, respectively, met the inclusion criteria. The World Federation of Neurosurgical Surgeons grade was significantly higher in the rebleeding group (p = 0.0088). Hemodynamic analysis showed significantly higher AIRC in the rebleeding group (p = 0.042). The other parameters were not significantly different between groups. There were no significant differences or correlations between SAH severity and AIRC. AIRC was identified as a hemodynamic parameter associated with ultra-early rebleeding of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Thus, AIRC calculation may enable the prediction of ultra-early rebleeding.
