dc.description.abstractBackground: Despite current developments in mechanical thrombectomy (MT), successful recanalization cannot be achieved in all patients. One of the factors related to this is the characteristics of the thrombus. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of thrombus length and permeability on procedural success and clinical outcome. Methods: Patients with intracranial ICA, middle cerebral artery M1, or M2 occlusions, who underwent MT between November 2019 and January 2022 were included in the study. Thrombus length, density and permeability were calculated and the relationship between recanalization success and modified Rankin Scores (mRS) at the 3rd month was evaluated. Good clinical outcome was defined as an mRS score of 2 or less. Results: Forty-six of the 79 patients included in the study had a good clinical outcome. Although thrombus length was shorter and permeability was higher in patients with good clinical outcome, statistical significance was not achieved. There was a positive correlation between thrombus density, thrombus length and the number of passes, and a negative correlation between permeability. There was no significant difference in thrombus length, density and permeability between patients with and without successful recanalisation. Thrombus length was found to be a predictor of clinical outcome at 3 months in univariate analysis, whereas only age was found to be an independent predictor in multivariate analysis. Conclusions: In conclusion, despite certain findings not achieving statistical significance, the observed trends offer valuable insights for future research. A comprehensive understanding of thrombus nature could guide personalized stroke treatment strategies in the future.en_US
