About this trial
This prospective cohort study investigates predictors of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) in patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. Adult patients with successful reperfusion (mTICI 2b-3) will be followed at 3 and 6 months to assess cognition, functional recovery, and depression. Predictors across clinical, procedural, radiological, and laboratory domains will be analyzed. The study aims to identify risk factors for PSCI, estimate its prevalence, and evaluate its impact on outcomes.
