Simplified stroke imaging selection modality for endovascular thrombectomy in the extended time window: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of imaging selection modality on clinical outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in the 6-24-hour time window remains undetermined. We compared the clinical outcomes of a simplified stroke imaging selection modality using non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT)±CT angiography (CTA) with using advanced CT perfusion (CTP).

Methods

PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from inception to 1 May 2022 to compare NCCT±CTA and CTP for patient selection for EVT in late-presenting stroke with large vessel occlusions (LVO). The primary outcome was the proportion of patients achieving functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score 0-2) within 180 days. The secondary outcomes included mortality wit
