Predictors of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage after endovascular thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke: A retrospective study

Key Points

• Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage occurred in a significant proportion of patients after endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke, indicating the need for careful monitoring.
• Key risk factors linked to increased intracranial hemorrhage are identified, including specific clinical and imaging characteristics that can aid in prediction.
• Retrospective study design analyzes patient records to evaluate the incidence and predictors of intracranial hemorrhage following the procedure.
• Understanding these predictors may enable clinicians to better assess risks and improve patient management during and after thrombectomy.
