Abstract:Background:
Based on recent trials, AIS due to large artery occlusion (LAO) is resistant to IV thrombolysis and adjunctive stent retriever thrombectomy (SRT) is associated with better recanalization rates and outcomes.Despite the benefit with endovascular therapy 39% to 68% of patients were either disabled or dead.Thrombectomy in AIS with LAO within 3 hours (IV t-PA window) is performed as secondary therapy after IV thrombolysis, which may be associated with delay in enrollment and recanalization.
