Age and Functional Outcomes in Patients With Large Ischemic Stroke Receiving Endovascular Thrombectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Randomized clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke with large infarct. Patients older than 80 years with large infarct are commonly encountered in clinical practice but underrepresented in randomized clinical trials.

Objective

To provide an age-based analysis of functional outcomes in endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic strokes with large infarct.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective multicenter cohort study included patients from the German Stroke Registry who received endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke with large infarct at 1 of 25 German stroke centers between May 2015 and December 2021. Patients with acute ischemic stroke due to anterior ci
