CONCLUSION

This study shows the effect of hypothermia among the anterior circulation ischemic stroke patients who treated with EVT. The statistical comparison between the hypothermia and no hypothermia groups was impracticable due to the imbalance of baseline characteristics. However, in patients with malignant MCA infarction undergoing EVT, therapeutic hypothermia may reduce the risk of hemorrhagic transformation and lead to an improved clinical outcome. This study suggests that therapeutic hypothermia can be considered as a treatment modality for malignant MCA infarction.
