Key result
Delayed reperfusion after EVT is linked to ~2.5-fold higher odds of 90-day functional independence.

Nearly half of patients with incomplete reperfusion after endovascular therapy for ischemic stroke achieve delayed reperfusion, which is associated with improved functional independence at 90 days.
Meta-Analysis (n=950)
Does delayed reperfusion improve functional independence at 90 days in patients with incomplete reperfusion after endovascular therapy for ischemic stroke?
Odds Ratio: 2.5 (95% CI 1.9–3.4)

Mujanović et al. (2024) conducted a meta-analysis in Ischemic stroke with incomplete reperfusion after endovascular therapy (n=950). Delayed reperfusion vs. No delayed reperfusion was evaluated on Rate of delayed reperfusion and its association with functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score, 0-2) at 90 days postintervention (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.9-3.4). Delayed reperfusion occurred in 41% of patients with incomplete reperfusion after endovascular therapy and was associated with functional independence at 90 days (OR 2.5; 95% CI 1.9-3.4).
