Direct Catheter-Based Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Outcomes of Consecutive Patients Treated in Interventional Cardiology Centers in Close Cooperation With Neurologists
2015
Abstract
We analyzed the data of 84 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Score [NIHSS] GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO6) who were treated in these 3 centers with mechanical thrombectomy without bridging or intra-arterial use of fibrinolytics between January 2012 and November 2014. The local ethical committees of the participating institutions approved the study.
