Outcome of Endovascular Thrombectomy in Pre-stroke Dependent Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a well-established and effective therapeutic option for patients that meet certain criteria. However, this modality is not well studied in patients with pre-existing disability.

Materials and methods

The MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases were comprehensively searched with a cut-off date of December 11th, 2021. We performed meta-analysis to investigate the 90-day clinical outcome, the 90-day mortality, and the rate of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) between the PSD (modified Rankin Scale score
