Patients Residing in Rural Areas Transferred for Mechanical Thrombectomy Undergo Decreased Catheter‐Based Treatment
In this nationwide cohort study, patients living in rural areas with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemicattack who were transferred to other hospitals for endovascular therapy evaluation were less likely to undergo intra-arterial catheter-based therapy, despite similar incidence of transfer delays, and when adjusting for select SDOH commonly associated with rurality.
