Does Malignancy Status Effect Outcomes in Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke and Cancer Who Underwent Endovascular Thrombectomy?

ABSTRACT: Background Cancer is associated with an increased risk of acute ischemic stroke, including large vessel occlusions. Whether cancer status affects outcomes in patients with large vessel occlusions that undergo endovascular thrombectomy remains unknown. Methods and Results All consecutive patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy for large vessel occlusions were recruited into a prospective ongoing multicenter database, and the data were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with active cancer were compared with patients with cancer in remission. Association of cancer status with 90-day functional outcome and mortality were calculated in multivariable analyses. We identified 154 patients with cancer and large vessel occlusions that underwent endovascular thrombectomy (mean age, 74±11; 43% m
