Abstract
We retrospectively investigated mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in nonagenarians and older with cerebral infarction. Analysis of 21 consecutive patients showed favorable outcomes (improved modified Rankin scale [mRS] 0-2 or returned prestroke mRS) in 33.3% and poor outcome (mRS 5 or 6) in 52.4%. Factors related to favorable outcomes remain unknown, but the overall results of MT were good. MT is effective for the treatment of very elderly patients and further research is required to predict prognosis.
