Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to compare outcomes of general anesthesia (GA) versus non-general anesthesia (non-GA) in patients aged 90 and older undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke, a group often excluded from previous research.
- The analysis included 139 patients, with those receiving non-GA showing significantly worse outcomes in 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores and higher mortality rates.
- The findings suggest that nonagenarians treated with MT without GA have poorer prognoses, highlighting the need for further research on anesthesia techniques for this age group.
Background: There is a lack of data regarding patients aged 90 years or older undergoing mechanical thrombectomy and their predictors of futile recanalization.
Aims: We sought to evaluate the predictors of futile recanalization in patients ≥ 90 years with large vessel occlusion undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.
Methods: This multi-center observational retrospective study included patients ≥ 90 years consecutively treated with mechanical thrombectomy in four thrombectomy capable centers between January 1st, 2016 and 30th March 2023.
