The relevance of atrial fibrillation to the safety and efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in stroke patients.
The association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and the outcome of mechanical throm‑bectomy (MT) in patients with stroke has not been determined so far. ⋯ Atrial fibrillation does not affect MT outcomes in patients with acute stroke. Age, the de‑gree of postinterventional reperfusion, and neurologic status in ultra ‑acute stroke are the strongest predictors of poor functional status.
