Association Between Time to Reperfusion and Outcome Is Primarily Driven by the Time From Imaging to Reperfusion.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A progressive decline in the odds of favorable outcome as time to reperfusion increases is well known. However, the impact of specific workflow intervals is not clear. METHODS We studied the mechanical thrombectomy group (n=103) of the prospective, randomized REVASCAT (Randomized Trial of Revascularization With Solitaire FR Device Versus Best Medical Therapy in the Trea...
