O-007 Bridging thrombolysis yields diminished benefit among elderly stroke patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy

ConclusionsBridging thrombolysis may be associated with better outcomes in a real-world setting; however, this association is diminished among elderly patients due to higher rates of hemorrhagic complications. Meta-analyses of trial data and future prospective studies are needed to fully elucidate the benefits and risks of bridging thrombolysis in the elderly population.Abstract O-007 Figure 1Disclosures H.
