Our study has provided valuable insights into the clinical significance of endovascular therapy (EVT) in the context of M2 occlusion stroke within a real-world setting. It is noteworthy that our findings indicate that the benefits obtained from EVT in M2 occlusion stroke closely align with those observed in controlled clinical trials. However, it is essential to recognize that there is a reduction in the clinical and cost-related advantages when comparing M2 occlusions to more proximal ICA/MCA-M1 occlusions.
