Key Points

To determine whether patient sex influences functional recovery and safety outcomes among individuals undergoing endovascular treatment for stroke in an extended time window.
Conducted a multicenter analysis of patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy in the late time window.
Evaluated the impact of sex on functional outcomes and examined interaction effects between sex, age, and safety endpoints.
Patient sex was not associated with functional recovery after late-window endovascular treatment.
Sex significantly modified the relationship between age and safety outcomes, with men experiencing worse safety profiles as age advanced.

Implication

Multicenter analysis reveals no sex differences in functional recovery after late-window stroke thrombectomy, indicating older men face higher safety risks.

Abstract

In this multicenter analysis of late patients treated with endovascular treatment, sex was not associated with functional outcome. However, sex influenced the association between age and safety outcomes, with men experiencing worse outcomes with advancing age.
