Clinical Outcome after Thrombectomy in Patients with Stroke with Premorbid Modified Rankin Scale Scores of 3 and 4: A Cohort Study with 136 Patients [INTERVENTIONAL]

CONCLUSIONS:
Good outcome in patients with premorbid mRS 3 and 4 is less frequent compared with premorbid mRS 0–2. Nevertheless, about 20% of the patients return to their premorbid mRS, which may justify endovascular treatment. The most important predictor of good outcome is successful recanalization.
