What is Endovascular Treatment of Medium Vessel Occlusion Stroke about?
Approximately one-third of acute ischemic strokes with an identifiable vessel occlusion are caused by medium vessel occlusion (MeVO), that is, nonlarge vessel occlusions that are potentially amenable to endovascular treatment (EVT). Management of patients with MeVO is challenging in many ways: detecting MeVOs can be challenging, particularly for inexperienced physicians, and in busy clinical routine, MeVOs, therefore, remain sometimes undiagnosed. While the clinical course of MeVO stroke with medical management, including intravenous thrombolysis, is by no means, benign, it is more favorable compared with large vessel occlusion. At the same time, EVT complication rates are higher, and thus, the marginal benefit of EVT beyond best medical management is expected to be smaller and more challenging to detect if it were present. Several randomized controlled trials are currently underway to investigate whether and to what degree patients with MeVO may benefit from EVT and will soon provide robust data for evidence-based MeVO EVT decision-making. In this review, we discuss different ways of defining MeVOs, strategies to optimize MeVO detection on imaging, and considerations for EVT decis
