Direct endovascular treatment may be more appropriate for patients with good collateral circulation: a retrospective case-control study
Better collateral circulation is associated with favorable 90-day outcomes in both EVT group and IVT + EVT group. However, in the IVT + EVT group better collateral circulation was also linked to a higher rate of mortality, increased incidence of embolus escape, and lower rate of mTICI 3 recanalization. This may suggest that AIS-LVO patients with better collateral circulation could benefit more from EVT alone. Future studies are warranted to confirm these findings.
