Influence of interhospital transfer on endovascular thrombectomy outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients: an analysis of the TREAT-AIS registry

Direct arrival was associated with improved outcomes if OTP < 6 h. Patients who arrive via transfer may still benefit substantially from EVT during the later treatment window. Further study is warranted to examine the predictors of favorable post-EVT outcomes within a 24-h window to facilitate timely treatment.
