Background: Efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in large vessel occlusion (LVO) patients with mild deficits is unclear. Methods: Pooled cohort of pts with mild deficits (NIHSS Results: Of 371 pts, 189 (51%) had EVT. Time LKW to EVT center: EVT 165 (70- 416) vs MM 200 (72-564) min, p=0.35 were similar. EVT pts had larger perfusion lesions (51 cc (23-86) vs 30.1 (5, 65), p0.99, neuro-worsening 17% vs 6%, p=0.30) and mortality 5% vs 3%, p>0.99). Without target profile, excellent outcomes were similar without a shift, Fig 1C. Safety was worse with EVT: sICH 8% vs 0%, p=0.001; neuro-worsening 20% vs 3%, p Conclusion: EVT was not associated with improved outcomes in patients with mild deficits; safety was worse. However, EVT was safe and associated with improved outcomes in target profile patients.
