E-069 Stroke thrombectomy patient selection: sex differences in collateral circulation

Conclusion Although this pilot study did not prove a significant association between poor collateral scores (0-1) and patient sex, there were higher rates of poorer collaterals and lower rates of favorable collaterals among men. Differences in collateral circulation would not appear to explain why women have poorer outcomes after post-thrombectomy, or a clear trend towards poorer collaterals among women would be expected. An analysis of a larger patient sample might yield a stronger association; for now, the sex disparity in stroke functional outcomes among thrombolysed patients remains unclear. Disclosures: K.
