vessel occlusion, acute ischemic stroke, AIS
URL: Currently, 2 reperfusion treatment modalities exist for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS): intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular therapy (EVT) for patients with a large vessel occlusion (LVO). Both treatments are critically time dependent,We aimed to investigate the benefits of bypassing the nearest PSC for patients with AIS with suspected LVO, considered eligible for IVT at the prehospital level by measuring functional outcome after 90 days on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
