Abstract TP14: Duration of Anesthesia Negatively Affects Functional Outcome After Endovascular Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Introduction: While three randomized trials recently showed no difference in clinical outcomes between general anesthesia and conscious sedation in stroke patients undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke, preliminary data suggest that anesthesia duration itself might adversely affect stroke outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to explore the impact of general anesthesia duration on functional outcome in stroke patients...
