Contribution of Serum Lipid Profiles to Outcome After Endovascular Thrombectomy for Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT: The contribution of lipids, including low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C and HDL-C, respectively) and triglycerides (TG), to stroke outcomes is still debated. We sought to determine the impact of LDL-C concentrations on the outcome of patients with ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation who received treatment with endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke treated at a tertiary center between 2012 and 2016. Patients treated with EVT for large artery occlusion in the anterior circulation were selected. The primary endpoint was functional outcome at 3 months as measured with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Secondary outcome measures included hospital death and final infarct volume (FIV). Bl
