White Matter Disease and Outcomes of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke [INTERVENTIONAL]

CONCLUSIONS:
Moderate-to-severe white matter disease is associated with worse outcomes in patients undergoing endovascular treatment without a significant increase in hemorrhagic complications. Studies comparing patients with and without endovascular treatment are necessary to determine whether the benefit of endovascular treatment is attenuated with greater white matter disease.
