Is helicopter transferal in the “drip-and-ship” approach for endovascular treatment the better choice? A retrospective analysis of transfer times
In the present analysis, air-based transport was faster than ground-based transport for the secondary transfer of patients with stroke due to LVO in the observed regional conditions. Both air- and land-based transport appear to be safe. No serious complications occurred during transport, while complications were more frequent in the ground-based transport group.
