EVT in routine clinical use in a metropolitan area showed comparable good outcomes and lower mortality compared to previous studies, despite the high proportion of patients with older age, pretreatment mRS score of >2, posterior circulation occlusion, and higher NIHSS. Those results may have been associated with more direct transport and faster onset-to-recanalization times.
