Endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke in nonagenarians compared with younger patients in a multicenter cohort.

Nonagenarians are at a substantially higher risk of a poor 90-day outcome after EVT than younger patients. However, a small subset of nonagenarians may benefit from EVT, particularly if they have a good pre-stroke functional status. Further research is needed to identify factors associated with favorable outcome in this age cohort.
