Abstract TP339: Off Hours Presentation is Not Associated With Poor Functional Outcomes or Faster Recanalization Times in Stroke Patients Receiving Mechanical Thrombectomy in a Large Volume Comprehensive Stroke Center
Abstract:Background:
Faster revascularization times are associated with better functional outcome in patients undergoing thrombectomy. We aim to evaluate the impact of time of day presentation on thrombectomy metrics and its association with long-term functional outcome in an IR equipped OR setting.
Methods:
We retrospective reviewed all stroke patients who received mechanical thrombectomy between December 2012 and December 2017 at our CSC from our prospectively… Show more
