Abstract
Background
Endovascular therapy is known to achieve a high rate of recanalization in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) and is currently the standard of care. Hemorrhagic conversion is a severe complication that may occur following AIS in patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). There is a scarcity of data on the risk factors related to HV in post-EVT patients, especially those who develop symptomatic hemorrhagic conversion. The main objective of our study is to identify independent predictors of radiographic and symptomatic hemorrhagic conversion in our diverse patient population with multiple baseline comorbidities that presented with AIS and were treated with EVT as per the most updated guidelines and practices.
