Abstract
Thrombectomy significantly improves clinical outcomes in patients with large vessel occlusion. However, the foundational trials used restrictive criteria, excluding patients with prestroke disability and included a few elderly patients (>80 years old). In addition, results from registries demonstrated conflicting results. We propose that there is equipoise for the elderly and prestroke disability to undergo thrombectomy and that trials are urgently required to guide treatment.
