    The study evaluated reperfusion therapy effectiveness in acute ischemic stroke patients with pre-stroke mRS score of 3.

  • 2

    A total of 183 patients with large vessel occlusion were included, categorized into medical treatment, IVT, or EVT.

  • 3

    Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) significantly increased the likelihood of returning to pre-stroke functional status compared to medical treatment.

  • 4

    Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) showed no significant benefit in returning to pre-stroke functional status.

  • 5

    Neither EVT nor IVT increased the risk of symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation or mortality in the study population.
