Association of Thrombectomy With Functional Outcome for Patients With Ischemic Stroke Who Presented in the Extended Time Window With Extensive Signs of Infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Only limited data are available about a potential benefit associated with endovascular treatment (EVT) for patients with ischemic stroke presenting in the extended time window who also show signs of extensive infarction.

Objective

To assess the association of recanalization after EVT with functional outcomes for patients with ischemic stroke presenting in the extended time window who also show signs of extensive infarction.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective, multicenter cohort study included patients enrolled in the German Stroke Registry-Endovascular Treatment with an Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) of 5 or less who presented between 6 and 24 hours after stroke onset and underwent computed tomography and subsequent EVT be
