Background and purpose: Although successful reperfusion is usually defined as a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) 2B or 3 at the end of the procedure, studies have shown that mTICI 2B patients had poorer functional outcomes than TICI 3 patients. An mTICI 2C category has been recently introduced for patients with near-complete perfusion except for slow flow in a few distal cortical vessels or presence of small distal cortical emboli after mechanical thrombectomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in functional outcome between patients achieving successful reperfusion (ie, mTICI 2B, mTICI 2C, and TICI 3 scores).

Methods: Ancillary study from the ASTER (Contact Aspiration Versus Stent Retriever for Successful Revascularization) prospective multicenter blinded end point trial. Reperfusion results are reported as the mTICI score, including the mTICI 2C grade. Pri...
