Impact of atrial fibrillation on outcomes in stroke patients with tandem occlusions treated with thrombectomy: A multicentre study
Patients with tandem occlusion and AF undergoing MT showed significantly worse functional and survival outcomes relative to their non-AF counterparts, despite comparable procedural success rates. These findings highlight the critical need for tailored management strategies to mitigate the unique risks associated with AF in this population. Further research is essential to refine therapeutic approaches and improve outcomes for this high-risk group.
