Aggregate patient-level analysis demonstrates benefits of mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke with large ischemic core, highlighting factors that influence clinical recovery.
Recently, four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated the benefits of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by anterior large vessel occlusion (LVO) and a large ischemic core at baseline (LIC). The purpose of this study was to investigate the features influencing the clinical outcome and the benefits of mechanical thrombectomy in this subgroup.
