Angiographic Baseline Proximal Thrombus Appearance of M1/M2 Occlusions in Mechanical Thrombectomy.

Baseline cut off thrombus appearance predicts a higher number of thrombectomy maneuvers.

Stroke etiology, clinical outcomes and thrombus-specific characteristics did not show any associations with the thrombus appearance.
