Leaving the day behind: endovascular therapy beyond 24 h in acute stroke of the anterior and posterior circulation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is little evidence of endovascular therapy (EVT) being performed in acute ischemic stroke beyond 24 h, and that evidence is limited to anterior circulation stroke.

Objective

To extend evidence of efficacy and safety of EVT after more than 24 h in both anterior and posterior circulation stroke.

Methods

Local, prospectively collected registries were screened for patients with acute ischemic stroke and large-vessel occlusion who had received either EVT > 24 h after last-seen-well but <24 h after symptom recognition (EVT_>24LSW) or EVT > 24 h since first (definitive) symptom recognition (EVT_>24DEF). Patients treated <24 h served as a group for comparison. Favorable outcome was defined as modified Rankin scale (mRS) 0-2 or return to pr
