This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients with low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS; 2\u20135) who achieved mTICI 2b versus those who achieved mTICI 2c\/3 after MT.Methods This study utilized data from the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR), which combined databases from 32 thrombectomy-capable stroke centers between 2013 and 2023. The study included only patients with low ASPECTS who achieved mTICI 2b, 2c, or 3 after MT for internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery (M1) stroke.Results Of the 10,229 patients who underwent MT, 234 met the inclusion criteria. Of those, 98 (41.9%) achieved mTICI 2b, and 136 (58.1%) achieved mTICI 2c\/3. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. The 90-day favorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale score: 0\u20133) was significantly better in the mTICI 2c\/3 group than in the mTICI 2b group (adjusted odds ratio 2.35; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.18\u20134.81; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;\/i&gt;=0.02). Binomial logistic regression revealed that achieving mTICI 2c\/3 was significantly associated with higher odds of a favorable 90-day outcome (odds ratio 2.14; 95% CI 1.07\u20134.41; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;\/i&gt;=0.04).Conclusion In patients with low ASPECTS, achieving an mTICI 2c\/3 score after MT is associated with a more favorable 90-day outcome. These findings suggest that mTICI 2c\/3 is a better target for MT than mTICI 2b in patients with low ASPECTS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5853\/jos.2023.02292","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,31]],"date-time":"2024-01-31T00:47:46Z","timestamp":1706662066000},"page":"95-103","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5853\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Thrombectomy
