Endovascular thrombectomy versus intravenous tissue plasminogen activator for vertebrobasilar stroke treatment: insights from the national inpatient sample
A trend of higher rates of EVT was observed in the younger age group (18-64 years) compared to the older age group, but no significant difference was noted based on sex. The all-cause mortality rate was found to be higher in the EVT group compared to the IV-tPA group. However, there was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay between the two groups.
