Endovascular thrombectomy beyond 24 hours from ischemic stroke onset: a propensity score matched cohort study

In this real world study, EVT beyond 24 hours from stroke onset or last known well appeared to be feasible, with comparable safety and functional outcomes to EVT initiation between 6 and 24 hours. Randomized trials assessing the efficacy of EVT in the VL window are warranted, but may only be feasible with a large international collaborative approach.
