Predictors of futile recanalization in nonagenarians treated with mechanical thrombectomy: a multi-center observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a lack of data regarding patients aged 90 years or older undergoing mechanical thrombectomy and their predictors of futile recanalization.

Aims

We sought to evaluate the predictors of futile recanalization in patients ≥ 90 years with large vessel occlusion undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.

Methods

This multi-center observational retrospective study included patients ≥ 90 years consecutively treated with mechanical thrombectomy in four thrombectomy capable centers between January 1st, 2016 and 30th March 2023. Futile recanalization was defined as large vessel occlusion patients experiencing a 90-day poor outcome (mRS 3-6) despite successful recanalization (mTICI ≥ 2b) after mechanical thrombectomy.

Results

Our cohort included 139 patients ≥
