• Endovascular thrombectomy can allow at least 1 in 3 patients older than 90 years of age to achieve good functional outcome (modified Rankin scale of 0-3) at 3 months. • Functional outcome at 3 months is associated with pre-stroke status (number and severity of patients' comorbidities). • A higher FVH score (as reflected by higher FLAIR vascular hyperintensity [FVH]-Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score [ASPECTS] values) is independently associated with better 3-month functional outcome and mortality in nonagenarians with anterior circulation ischemic stroke.
