Our results prove the additional benefit of MT over standard care, using a stricter definition for favorable functional outcome. Nearly one-third of patients presenting with large artery occlusion and treated with MT had no disability at 90 days. While this is remarkable, our results also indicate that reperfusion alone is often not enough to prevent disability and underline the need for better neuroprotection strategies.
