Thrombectomy in ischemic stroke patients with alberta stroke program early computed tomography score 4-5 and 0-3: Factors associated with favorable outcome

Purpose of this retrospective study was to identify factors that are associated with a favorable outcome in patients with low ASPECTS of 4-5 and 0-3 undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.
