PSH after endovascular mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke are likely to occur in complicated cases in which more than one revascularisation attempt is performed. PSH per se do not appear to be associated with an impaired clinical outcome or an elevated risk for consecutive haemorrhage.

By choosing pragmatic inclusion criteria state-of-the-art IA therapy of a specialized tertiary stroke centre can be safely applied under real-world conditions to a higher percentage of patients with similar success to the recently published RCTs.
