Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUNDPrior studies have shown benefit for endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with large‐vessel occlusion and severe deficits, as captured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. However the benefit of EVT in patients with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score <6 is unclear.METHODSWe queried the National Inpatient Sample (2018–2020) for patients with a large‐vessel occlusion of the internal caroti
