Endovascular Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Outcome in Referred Versus Directly Admitted Patients
2018
Purpose
Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (mTE) in acute ischemic stroke due to large cerebral artery occlusion is effective and safe. The procedure is currently offered by specialized hospitals. Physicians from smaller hospitals need to refer patients to stroke centers. Secondary referrals involve delays for transportation. Little is known about effects of distant referrals on outcome and complications as compared to direct admittance.
