Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

This paper describes the clinical features, treatment indications, mortality and severity of global disability in the follow up outcomes in isquemic cerebrovascular stroke patients submitted to mechanical thrombectomy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted from April 2013 to April 2016.

RESULTS:

During the study period, ten patients underwent mechanical thrombectomy. Mean age was 62, median modified Rankin Scale Score at acceptance was 4. Initially, all patients had a combined reperfusion approach, unless there were contraindications. Intravenous thrombolysis was contraindicated in 40% of patients. Mortality Trombectomía mecánica en pacientes con ataque cerebrovascular isquémico: serie de casos en un centro de referencia colombiano rate was 20% as well as intraparenchimal hemorrhage. Modified Rankin Scale improved during follow up in 70% of patients. Of these, functional independence was achieved by 50% of patients.

CONCLUSION:

it seems to be a functional independence impact on patients submitted to mechanical thrombectomy. There is not difference in safety and mortality outcomes.
