Early Versus Late Initiation of Endovascular Therapy in Patients with Severe Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endovascular therapy (EVT) for severe cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is controversial in terms of indication and clinical benefit. The impact of delay of EVT on functional recovery is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of early versus late initiation of EVT in severe CVST.

Methods

From prospective EVT and CVST registries, patients with CVST diagnosed between January 2010 and December 2022 were retrospectively identified for this multicenter collaboration. EVT was considered in severe CVST with features prone to a poor prognosis. We compared early (< 24 h) with late (> 24 h) initiation of EVT after the presentation in the emergency department and subsequent CVST diagnosis. Outcome parameters included functional independence (modified Ranki
