Determining Outcomes in Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion and Mild Stroke Who Did or Did Not Receive Thrombolytics and/or Thrombectomy
Patients with AIS, low NIHSS, and LVO, who received thrombolytics and/or thrombectomy had longer hospital LOS, higher mRS at discharge and follow-up, and were less likely to be discharged home, though these trends were not statistically significant. Our study is limited by a small sample size and these findings should be further explored in larger studies.
