The Prevalence and Associated Factors of Early Deterioration After Successful Recanalization in Acute Ischemic Stroke

stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. More than half (54.5%) of the 56.9 million deaths worldwide in 2106 were due to the top 10 causes. Ischemic heart disease and stroke are the world's biggest killers, accounting for a combined 15.2 million deaths in 2106. These diseases have remained the leading causes of death globally in the last 15 years. Recent clinical trials have shown that endo-vascular thrombectomy is an effective and safe recanalization modality for acute ischemic stroke patients . Meta-analysis results show that endovascular treatment is associated with a high ratio of successful recanalization rate and a low rate of symptomatic hemorrhage . Approximately 2.2-37.5% of patients with acute ischemic stroke might encounter early neurological deterioration (END). Definition of END: An increase in NIHSS ≥4 or an increase in Ia of NIHSS ≥1 within 72 h after recanalization treatment.
