O-004 A multicenter study evaluating the frequency and burden of mechanical thrombectomy on stroke centers

Conclusion This is the first study to quantify the time requirement of mechanical thrombectomy and the call burden on neurointerventional physicians at stroke centers. Over a three month period at 10 stroke centers across the United States, mechanical thrombectomy procedures occurred once every 5 days on average, although nearly 60% occurred during non-work hours. As ELVO awareness increases, thrombectomy call has important operational implications for hospitals implementing stroke call coverage. Abstract O-004 Figure 1 Disclosures T. Wilson: None. T.
