Background and purpose Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) improves early clinical outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke but insights on determinants of long-term outcome after MT treatment are scarce. Methods Data from stroke patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion of a prospect...
