Endovascular therapy in pediatric stroke: utilization, patient characteristics, and outcomes.
This study aimed to describe endovascular therapy utilization and explore outcomes in a national sample of pediatric arterial ischemic stroke patients. In this sample of children with a diagnosis of arterial ischemic stroke, endovascular therapy was infrequently utilized. Patients with a procedure code for endovascular therapy had significant stroke-related deficits, but outcomes were similar to those in children who did not receive endovascular therapy.
