Outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy at a single-centre tertiary level public healthcare hospital in South Africa

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated similar rates of recanalisation and functional independence to that seen in trials in high-income countries using basic imaging despite a higher mortality and longer median time to reperfusion. This data supports the effectiveness of MT in a tertiary level public hospital in South Africa despite the challenges of providing emergent stroke care in a resource-constrained setting.PMID:37259571 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231178163
