General anesthesia for mechanical thrombectomy was associated with higher reperfusion without delaying workflow compared to conscious sedation, despite use in more severe cases.
Does general anesthesia improve procedural efficiency and technical success compared to conscious sedation in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy?
General anesthesia during mechanical thrombectomy is associated with higher reperfusion rates without delaying workflow, even in complex cases.

GA was used in more complex, severe cases but was associated with higher reperfusion without delaying workflow. Anesthetic selection should prioritize airway protection, physiological stability, and procedural control.
