Racial and Accessibility Disparities with Mechanical Thrombectomy Usage for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Recent studies describe racial and socioeconomic (SES) disparities with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Our study investigated whether such disparities are present at our institution and surrounding region. MT is the ”gold standard” treatment for AIS. AIS comprises more than 80% of cases of stroke (another major category of stroke includes hemorrhagic). IUH Methodist sees patients transferred over from a variety of counties within the entire state of Indiana.
