Inadvertent hypothermia after endovascular therapy is not associated with improved outcome in stroke due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion

Background and purpose Hypothermia may be neuroprotective in acute ischemic stroke. Patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (acLVO) are frequently hypothermic after endovascular therapy (EVT). We sought to determine whether this inadvertent hypothermia is associated with improved outcome. Methods We extracted data of consecutive patients (January 2016 to May 2019) who received EVT for acLVO from our prospective EVT register of...
