Recent randomized trials showing improved outcomes for later‐presenting acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) treated with endovascular clot retrieval (ECR) may result in substantial increases in CTP utilization. This 3‐hospital, single‐institution cohort study aimed to compare 2017 and 2018 patient cohorts for the following: CTP use in AIS. Prevalence of LVO in all patients having CTP. Number and clinical characteristics of patients triaged to ECR. Number of patients receiving CTP relative to similar‐acuity total ED presentations.
