Abstract
- Background For patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke, time to treatment with endovascular thrombectomy is crucial to prevent infarction and improve outcomes. We sought to evaluate the hub arrival‐to‐puncture times and outcomes for transferred patients accepted directly to the angio‐suite (LVO to operating room, LVO2OR) versus those accepted through the emergency department in a hub‐and‐spoke telestroke network. Methods Consecutive patients transferred for endovascular thrombectomy with spoke computed tomography angiography–confirmed LVO, spoke Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography score >6, and last known well–to–hub arrival
