Adult Subjects
Female Subjects
Male Subjects
Objectives:
This study aims to estimate overall treatment benefit (improvement in disability) among acute ischemic stroke patients that are randomized to General Anesthesia (GA) compared with Sedation (CS) during endovascular therapy. Assess safety (as measured by incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage); rates of Endovascular therapy (EVT) procedural complications, reperfusion; and quality of life.
Hypothesis:
GA during EVT for acute ischemic stroke improves functional outcomes at 90 days compared to sedation.
