| Abstract |
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the gold standard treatment for large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke of the anterior circulation. Whether MT can also be effectively and safely performed in early recurrent LVO is largely unclear. We present the case of a middle-aged patient who was successfully treated by MT for right proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion with excellent outcome. One day after discharge (9 days after the first MT), the patient was readmitted with wake-up stroke. MRI again revealed right proximal MCA occlusion with severe diffusion-perfusion mismatch. Repeat MT was performed and once more led to almost full recovery. The recurrent strokes were attributed to ulcerated non-stenosing plaques in the ipsilateral internal carotid artery, which prompted thromboendarterectomy. In an 18-months follow-up period, no further vascular events occurred. In conclusion, repeated MT for early recurrent LVO appears feasible in carefully selected patients. The collection of similar cases via registries would be desirable. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 March 2022.
All research outputs
#13,650,896
of 23,269,984 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Neurology
#5,289
of 12,176 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#168,324
of 327,083 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Neurology
#132
of 297 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,269,984 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,176 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,083 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 297 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
