E-067 Institutional trends in mechanical thrombectomy: lessons learned

Conclusions: Preliminary data suggest that thrombectomy is a safe procedure that results in extremely low mortality and significant decreases NIH score over time, which may point to better functional outcome. Overall, there was an improvement in NIHSS reduction with time. Additionally, achieving faster times to recanalization resulted in better improvements in NIHSS. There was a significant difference in the ability of different techniques to achieve first-pass recanalization, though this may reflect clinical judgments about when to use each technique. Producing a TICI score of 3 also improved over time, demonstrating increased ability to recanalize at our institution over time. Disclosures: S. Trott: None. O. Vsevolozhskaya: None. A.
