Abstract

Moderate to severe pre-stroke disability was comparable to pre-stroke mRS 0-2 with respect to favorable functional outcomes after EVT, and may not be a justified exclusion criterion for EVT in AIS. Randomized studies are necessary to optimize decision-making and evaluate the broader impact of EVT in this population.
