We aimed to compare 3-month clinical outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients transferred directly to a comprehensive stroke centre ('mothership', MS) to the outcomes of patients transferred secondarily from primary stroke centres ('drip-and-ship', DAS) in Lubelskie province, the third largest province in Poland.
