Thrombus histopathological composition in distal versus proximal vessel occlusions treated by mechanical thrombectomy

This study demonstrated significant compositional differences between thrombi retrieved from DMVO and PLVO, with thrombi from distal occlusions exhibiting higher platelet and lower RBC content compared with those from proximal occlusions. However, larger studies with more detailed immunohistopathological analyses are warranted to confirm these results.
