Thromboelastography as a predictor of functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing endovascular treatment

Thromboelastography (TEG) is a useful for predicting hemorrhagic transformation, early neurological deterioration, and functional outcome after stroke. We aimed to investigate whether TEG value could also be useful in predicting functional outcome via various intraprocedural and postprocedural factors in patients with acute large vessel occlusive stroke who underwent intraarterial thrombectomy (IAT).
