Clinical and Imaging Outcomes of Endovascular Therapy in Patients with Acute Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke and Mild Clinical Symptoms.

Journal: Interventional neurology
Published Date: Nov 23, 2017

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The minimal stroke severity justifying endovascular intervention remains elusive. However, a significant proportion of patients presenting with large vessel occlusion stroke (LVOS) and mild symptoms go untreated and face poor outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients presenting with LVOS and low symptom scores (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score ≤8) undergoing endovascular therapy (ET).
