Predictors of outcomes following catheter‐based therapy for acute stroke

Conclusion Successful revascularization with CBT leads to a good neurologic outcome in selected stroke patients. Medical co‐morbidities and increased age >65y contributed to poor outcomes. To support broadening the number of physicians qualified to perform catheter‐based stroke interventions, this study demonstrates that Interventional Cardiologists participating on a stroke team achieve comparable outcomes to Neurointerventionalists.
