Original article title
Functional outcomes and quality of life after endovascular thrombectomy in large and extensive infarcts (ASPECTS 0-5): a multicentre registry study.
Takeaway
Among selected thrombectomy-treated patients with very extensive infarcts, roughly one in five reached a 90-day disability score of 0–3, while more than half died. Without a medically treated control group, these registry data describe prognosis, not treatment benefit.
Keep in mind
Retrospective registry; no untreated comparator.
