This analysis shows that current national practices utilize EVT for more severe PCA strokes. Clinical benefit was only detected in patients with moderate stroke severity (NIHSS 10-19) who were treated with combined EVT and IVT. Further work is needed to investigate the features of PCA-AIS that might benefit from EVT the most.
