Survival and functional outcome following endovascular thrombectomy for anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion in Sweden 2017-2019-a nationwide, prospective, observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is standard of care for anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusion (LVO), but data on nationwide performance in routine healthcare are sparse. The study aims were to describe EVT patients with LVO AIS, analyze mortality and functional outcome, and compare results with randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Methods

Data from the Riksstroke and the Swedish Endovascular Treatment of Acute Stroke Registry (RSEVAS) on pre-stroke independent patients, with LVO AIS in 2017-2019, defined as occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery, or the M1 or M2 segments of the middle cerebral artery, and groin puncture <6 h of onset, were compared to aggregated HERMES collaboration RCT data. We assessed 9
