Elderly Patients are at Higher Risk for Poor Outcomes after Intra-Arterial Therapy
Stroke 43:2356-2361, Chandra, R.V.,et al, 2012
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Despite comparable rates of reperfusion and significant hemorrhage, elderly patients had worse clinical outcomes after IAT, which may relate, in part, to worse baseline health and disability. The use of IAT in the elderly should be performed after a careful analysis of the potential risks and benefits.
