Anesthesia for endovascular treatment in anterior circulation stroke: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis

ConclusionsIn the overall analysis and observational studies, CS was associated with improved functional outcomes and relatively safe for anterior ischemic stroke compared with GA. While the pooled data from RCTs suggested that GA was associated with improved outcomes. The inconsistency indicated that more large ‐scale RCTs are required to evaluate what factors influenced the effect of the anesthesia methods on clinical outcomes.
