O-048 Comparing outcomes after thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion: children vs. adults - a systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionsEVT is a safe and effective treatment for AIS due to LVO in children. The immediate improvement in NIHSS score seen after EVT in pediatric patients is similar to adults; the data suggest higher rates of favorable long-term neurological outcomes, higher revascularization rates, and lower complication rates, endorsing consideration of this intervention in children presenting with LVO.Abstract O-048 Figure 1Disclosures M.
