Predictors of Outcome after Mechanical Thrombectomy for Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusion in Patients Aged ≥80 Years

ASPECTS and NIHSS were independent predictors of a favorable outcome in patients aged ≥80 years after mTE for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion and may support decision making with regard to the treatment modality. Since the chances of gaining functional independence are limited, careful consideration of each individual case is mandatory. Further studies comparing endovascular and standard treatment in octogenarians are warranted.
