Abstract 359: Outcomes Of Endovascular Thrombectomy In Stroke Patients With Low NIHSS: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has been proven to be beneficial in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO). Furthermore, recent trials have also shown the benefits of EVT in large core volume strokes. However, safety and efficacy of EVT has not been well established in patients with low National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of less than 6. Here, we compare the efficacy and safety of EVT with best medical management (BMM) in patients presenting with AIS with low NIHSS and LVO on computed tomography angiogram (CTA).
