Analysis reveals reduced functional independence in patients receiving thrombectomy after 24 hours, suggesting intervention timing matters.

This analysis aims to describe thrombectomy utilization and clinical outcomes for patients with large vessel occlusions presenting after 24 hours.
Utilized data from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Get With The Guidelines-Stroke registry.
Identified patients with internal carotid, M1, or M2 occlusions and NIHSS ≥6.
Compared outcomes of patients receiving thrombectomy after >23.5 hours to those treated within 5.5–23.5 hours using generalized estimating equations.
Of 3,373 patients with LVO presenting after 23.5 hours, 1,789 (53.0%) underwent thrombectomy.
Among patients treated earlier, 71.4% received thrombectomy.
Patients treated after 23.5 hours showed lower odds of functional independence (OR 0.70) and independent ambulation (OR 0.73) at discharge.
Symptomatic hemorrhage rates were similar between groups, with 5.5% in late-presenting and 6.9% in early-presenting patients.
