Mechanical thrombectomy in large-core stroke remains associated with improved functional outcomes despite frequent intracerebral hemorrhage, though parenchymal hemorrhage may reduce this benefit.
Does mechanical thrombectomy affect bleeding patterns and functional outcomes in patients with large-core ischemic stroke?
In large-core ischemic stroke, mechanical thrombectomy improves functional outcomes despite a higher rate of mostly asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
ICH is common in large-core stroke, particularly after MT, but is often asymptomatic and not independently linked to poor outcome. PH may reduce the benefit of MT, but overall, MT remains associated with improved functional outcomes. Distinguishing hemorrhage types is crucial in assessing post-treatment risk in this vulnerable population.
