E-005 primary acute stroke thrombectomy within 3 hours from large artery occlusion (past3-lao) – a pilot study (original) (raw)

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large artery occlusion (LAO) is challenging to treat, particularly in patients with high National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores. This pilot study evaluates the feasibility, safety, and recanalization rate of primary thrombectomy conducted within 3 hours of symptom onset for AIS patients with LAO. Results indicated that 94.44% of patients achieved complete recanalization, with significant improvements in NIHSS scores observed after the procedure. Furthermore, favorable functional outcomes were noted, demonstrating that early intervention could substantially benefit patients with AIS following LAO.
