Asymptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage Following Endovascular Stroke Therapy Is Not Benign: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Asymptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (aICH) occurs in approximately 35% of patients with acute ischemic stroke after endovascular thrombectomy. Unlike symptomatic ICH, studies evaluating the effect of aICH on outcomes have been inconclusive. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the long-term effects of postendovascular thrombectomy aICH.

Methods and results

The meta-analysis protocol was submitted to the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews a priori. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched from inception through September 2023, yielding 312 studies. Two authors independently reviewed all abstracts. Included studies contained adult patients with ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular thrombectomy with follow-
