Comparing extended versus standard time window for thrombectomy: caseload, patient characteristics, treatment rates and outcomes —a prospective single-centre study

ConclusionExtending the time window from 6 to 24 h results in a 26.7% increase in patients receiving thrombectomy and a 36.4% increase of independent clinical outcome in treated patients at the price of a significantly increased burden of clinical and imaging screening due to the similar caseload but a smaller proportion of treatment eligible patients in the extended as compared with the standard time window.
