Mechanical Thrombectomy in Patients With Ischemic Stroke With Prestroke Disability.

ABSTRACT: Background and Purpose- We aimed to compare functional and procedural outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke with none-to-minimal (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score, 0-1) and moderate (mRS score, 2-3) prestroke disability treated with mechanical thrombectomy. Methods- Consecutive adult patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for an anterior circulation stroke were prospectively identified at 2 comprehensive stroke centers from 2012 to 2018. Procedural and 90-day functional outcomes were compared among patients with prestroke mRS scores 0 to 1 and 2 to 3 using χ², logistic, and linear regression tests. Primary outcome and significant differences in secondary outcomes were adjusted for prespecified covariates. Results- Of 919 patients treated with mechanical thrombect
