Consecutive patients treated with SR thrombectomy as the first endovascular modality were enrolled. The thrombus volume and density were measured on thin-section noncontrast computed tomography using 3-dimensional software. The patients were grouped by recanalization status and the number of SR passes. Among 165 patients, recanalization was achieved with the first pass in 68 (50.0%), 2\u20133 passes in 43 (31.6%), and \u22654 passes in 25 (18.4%) patients. The thrombus volume was smaller in patients with (107.5 mm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>) than without (173.7 mm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>, p\u2009=\u20090.025) recanalization, and tended to be larger with increasing number of passes (p for trend\u2009=\u20090.001). The thrombus volume was an independent predictor of first-pass recanalization (odds ratio 0.93 per 10 mm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>, 95% confidence interval 0.89\u20130.97). However, the thrombus density was not associated with recanalization success. Recanalization within 3 passes was associated with a favorable outcome. In conclusion, the thrombus volume was significantly related to recanalization in SR thrombectomy. Measuring the thrombus volume was particularly predictive of first-pass recanalization, which was associated with a higher likelihood of a favorable outcome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-017-16274-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,15]],"date-time":"2017-11-15T14:27:42Z","timestamp":1510756062000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Predictive value of thrombus volume for recanalization in stent retriever thrombectomy"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Jang-Hyun","family":"Baek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1169-6798","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joonsang","family":"Yoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dongbeom","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Young Dae","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyo Suk","family":"Nam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Byung Moon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dong Joon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hye Sun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji Hoe","family":"Heo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"16274_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3020","DOI":"10.1161\/STR.0000000000000074","volume":"46","author":"WJ Powers","year":"2015","unstructured":"Powers, W.
