↵aResponses to “Wait for 10 minutes and repeat DSA to look for persistent occlusion” and “Wake up the patient for reassessment” (if applicable) were included in the “No EVT” category to calculate risk ratios. Data in columns 2–5 represent the responses of physicians to a survey question “Should the presented MeVO be treated endovascularly?”
