Outcome Evaluation of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated with Endovascular Thrombectomy: A Single-Institution Experience in the Era of Randomized Controlled Trials
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Endovascular thrombectomy is an effective procedure to treat selected ischemic strokes, as shown in recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The generalizability of these trial data to real-world settings, however, is unknown.
