Mechanical recanalization in ischemic anterior circulation stroke within an 8-hour time window: a real-world experience

We aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of mechanical recanalization in patients with ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation within 8 h since symptoms onset and with unknown onset time. We compared time intervals <6 h vs. 6-8 h/unknown onset time, as only limited data are available for a time window beyond 6 h.Our cohort included 110 consecutive patients (44 males; mean age, 73.0±11.5 years) with ischemic stroke in the anterior...
