Treatment Delay by Interhospital Transfer for Endovascular Treatment of Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke
A substantial proportion of patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke initially present to the nearest s troke center before they are transferred to a comprehensive stroke center to receive endovascular therapy (EVT), depending on geographic circumstances in different regions of the world. Recent research showed that the onset-to-groin-puncture times for patients with interhospital transfer for EVT were longer compared with patients presenting directly to an EVT-capable center. These studies,
