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.
