E-089 Changes in mechanical thrombectomy incidence rate at a comprehensive stroke center before and after Covid-19 shutdown

ConclusionThere appears to be a 3-fold decrease in MT presenting to the emergency department at our institution since the COVID-19 shutdown while ‘drip and shipped’ and in-patient admits have increased slightly. For patients admitted to the emergency department, there was a statistically significant ~25-minute increased arrival-to-puncture time after COVID-19 shutdowns. Further monitoring of presentation over the next year as the pandemic wanes will be revealing to any lasting impact on patient triage and treatment based on the COVID-19 pandemic.Disclosures B.
