Sex-Related Differences in Outcomes of Endovascular Treatment of Distal Medium Vessel Occlusion Strokes

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate the impact of biological sex on the outcomes of endovascular treatment in patients with distal medium vessel occlusion strokes.
• Adjusted for age, baseline disability, and vascular risk factors
• Examined functional and safety outcomes post-mechanical thrombectomy
• Reviewed patient records for sex-related differences in treatment outcomes.
• Biological sex showed no independent association with functional outcomes after treatment.
• Safety outcomes did not differ significantly based on sex.
• Overall effectiveness of treatment was consistent across sexes.
