Intracranial atherosclerotic disease mechanism indicates poor outcomes of thrombectomy in acute cerebral infarction with large vessel occlusion: A matched cohort study

Thrombectomy is a standard treatment for acute large vessel occlusion (LVO); however, its effectiveness in treating LVO related to intracranial atherosclerosis disease (ICAD) remains uncertain. This study aimed to compare thrombectomy outcomes in ICAD-related and embolic LVO, focusing on patients with similar symptom severities upon hospital admission.
