Association between anesthesia modality and clinical outcomes following endovascular stroke treatment in the extended time window

Conclusion
LA without sedation during EVT was associated with improved functional outcomes compared with GA, but not CS, within and beyond 6 hours from stroke onset. Prospective studies assessing anesthesia-related outcomes in the extended time window are warranted.
