Recommendations
2a B-NR
1. In pediatric patients ≥6 years with acute neurological
symptoms and ischemic stroke due to LVO and within
6 hours from symptom onset, EVT can be effective if
performed by experienced neurointerventionalists to improve
functional outcomes.
2a B-NR
2. In pediatric patients ≥6 years with acute neurological
symptoms and ischemic stroke due to LVO, 6 to 24 hours
from symptom onset, and with potentially salvageable brain
tissue, EVT can be effective to improve functional outcomes.
2b B-NR
3. In pediatric patients aged 28 days to 6 years with acute
neurological symptoms, including first-time seizure and
AIS due to LVO, within 24 hours from symptom onset, and
with potentially salvageable brain tissue, EVT performed
by neurointerventionalists with pediatric experience may be
reasonable to improve functional outcomes.
