Multicentre ObseRvational Study in Posterior mecHanical thrombEctomy: conscioUs Sedation vs General aneSthesia

Multicentre ObseRvational Study in Posterior mecHanical thrombEctomy: conscioUs Sedation vs General aneSthesia: MORPHEUS STROKE REGISTRY

The association of conscious sedation vs. general anesthesia in ischemic stroke with posterior circulation occlusions undergoing endovascular therapy, is istill unknown.

No prospective or clinical trials have studied this effect on posterior circulation strokes.

The choice of anesthetic regimen is ussually depending on local stroke-team protocols or neurointerventional preference.

MORPHEUS Stroke Registry is a prospective multicentre observational study that investigates the association between anestheisa and functional outcome in patients with posterior circulation large vessel occlusion treated endovascularly.
