Background: Endovascular treatment (EVT) has increasingly become the standard treatment of acute cerebral large vessel occlusion (LVO). We evaluated the impact of introducing EVT on LVO therapy in a single center where intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) had been the only recanalization therapy.Materials and methods: Between April 2013 and March 2017, 354 consecutive patients with LVO admitted to our institution were analyzed. We compared outcomes between two chronological groups before (Pre-EVT group) and after (Post-EVT group) introducing EVT in April 2015. We assessed prognostic factors for favorable outcomes (modified Rankin scale score
