More than one-third have good thrombectomy outcomes
But the large real-world independent study finds higher mortality rates than in RCTs
More than one-third of patients having thrombectomy for ischaemic stroke have good functional outcome at three months, according to results from a large German study.
The study used data from 2794 patients with ischaemic stroke attending 25 German stroke centres between 2015 and 2018, and was conducted independently of pharmaceutical company funding.
