Impact of stroke imaging selection modality on endovascular thrombectomy outcomes in the early and extended time windows: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effect of imaging selection modality on endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) remains unclear. This study aims to compare post-EVT outcomes in patients with AIS-LVO who underwent basic imaging (computed tomography with or without computed tomography angiography) and advanced imaging (computed tomography perfusion or magnetic resonance imaging) in early and late time windows.

Method

A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases from inception until June 10, 2023. Studies investigating the relationship between the imaging selection modality and post-EVT outcomes in patients with AIS-LVO were retrieved. A random-effects model
