Cost-utility of direct transfer to angiography suite (DTAS) bypassing conventional imaging for patients with acute ischemic stroke in Spain: results from the ANGIOCAT trial.

For patients with LVO admitted within 6 hours after symptom onset, the DTAS not only improves clinical outcome but also decreases the costs (dominant option) compared with the standard DTCT. Multicentric international randomized clinical trials are ongoing to determine the replicability of our findings.
