Outcomes of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Our Hospital

Abstract

One year has passed since the stroke care unit (SCU) was established in our hospital. The number of acute revascularization treatments is gradually increasing. A total of 48 mechanical thrombectomy procedures were performed in 2018, more than usual. The revascularization rate of Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) grade 2B or higher cases was 83% and the mean onset recanalization time (ORT) was 180 min. Three months later, the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-2 rate was 30%. The revascularization rate was equivalent to that of a reported randomized controlled trial (RCT), while the 3-month mRS rate was inadequate. Future treatments require examination, including system enhancement.
