Abstract Number ‐ 24: Endovascular thrombectomy with or without bridging thrombolysis in patients with ischemic stroke: A cost‐utility analysis

Introduction There is clinical equipoise behind bridging intravenous thrombolysis (BT) with endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). We performed a cost‐effectiveness analysis comparing EVT and BT versus EVT alone. Methods We conducted a model‐based cost‐utility analysis comparing the cost‐effectiveness of EVT alone vs. EVT and BT for patients with acute ischemic stroke. We used a decision tree to examine the short‐term costs and outcomes at 90 days …
