Negative impact of Interhospital Transfer on Clinical Outcomes of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Fast Progressive Stroke

The time-dependence of the clinical outcome of mechanical thrombectomy is higher in the “fast progressor” in whom cerebral ischemia progresses rapidly. The impact of time-consuming interhospital transfer (IT) on the clinical outcome of such patients is unknown. The effect on clinical outcomes of IT of fast progressors was investigated.
