Abstract

Background and purpose

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is usually treated with systemic anticoagulation, but mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and local infusion of a thrombolytic agent have been proposed as an alternative therapy. In this study, we analyze National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to determine the trends of MT including discharge other than home (DOTH) and mortality.
