Blood pressure levels post mechanical thrombectomy and outcomes in large vessel occlusion strokes

Conclusions:
High maximum SBP levels following MT are independently associated with increased likelihood of 3-month mortality and functional dependence in LVO patients. Moderate BP control is also related to lower odds of 3-month mortality in comparison to permissive hypertension.
