Abstract
Individuals >= 80 years old represent the fastest-growing age group in developed countries and the one with the highest risk of ischemic stroke (IS).(1)Given the recent paradigm shift in the treatment of acute IS and large vessel occlusion (LVO), the number of patients >= 80 years old receiving mechanical thrombectomy (MT) will grow in the upcoming years. It remains unclear whether the effectiveness and safety of MT observed in this specific age group will prove similar to those observed in the overall population of IS patients.(2)| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
