Title: Time to Endovascular Treatment and Clinical Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke With M2‐Segment Occlusion

What Is New?
In contrast to acute ischemic stroke patients with a large vessel occlusion, we found no significant association between delays in endovascular treatment and clinical outcomes in patients with M2 occlusions.

What Are the Clinical Implications?
Future studies should determine whether specific subgroups of patients with an M2 occlusion, based on imaging characteristics or collateral status, may still benefit from faster time to treatment.
