Effectiveness and safety of endovascular thrombectomy for large versus medium vessel occlusions: a single-center experience
Conclusion
The 90-day mRS and rate of periprocedural complications were not significantly different between patients treated for LVO and those treated for MeVO with EVT. Older age, not receiving r-tPA, and larger infarct size were independent predictors of poor outcome at 90 days.
