Differences in outcome between left-sided and right-sided mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is a safe and effective treatment option for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. To investigate differences in outcomes between patients receiving left-sided and right-sided MT, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods

A systematic literature review was performed using Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Additional literature was searched for manually. Studies reporting safety and efficacy metrics for MT were included. Data regarding the modified Rankin scale (mRS), thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), and 90-day mortality were included. A random-effects model was used to calculate pooled odds ratios (ORs), mean differences (MDs), a
