Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Chinese Municipal and County Hospitals： A "Real World" Study-ETERNITY Registry

To investigate the Endovascular Treatment difference between Chinese city and country hospital.

Endovascular Treatment for AIS in Chinese Municipal and County Hospitals： A "Real World" Study-ETERNITY Registry is an academic , independent, pragmatic , prospective , multicenter , observational registry study . Patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by anterior circulation intracranial large vessel occlusion and receiving EVT were included. Patients were divided into primary stroke center (county hospital) and senior stroke center (city hospital) groups. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) workflow, EVT procedural details and clinical outcome were compared in two groups. The aim of the study was to explore the EVT difference in Chinese city and county hospital.
