199 Mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke - outcomes from Sheffield
Conclusions
Outcomes from mechanical thrombectomy at Sheffield teaching hospitals are good, with nearly half of patients having a good functional recovery. However, outcomes in the subgroup of patients aged over 80 were significantly poorer, with high complication and mortality rates; this warrants further study.
