Large-Core Ischemic Stroke Endovascular Treatment
Published: diciembre 17, 2024
- This Science Advisory summarizes recent randomized trials on the efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in large-core ischemic stroke (LCIS), analyze the similarities and differences among these trials, and discuss the clinical implications of their findings.
- The results from six clinical trials examining the efficacy of EVT provide strong evidence of its benefit in patients who have good pre-stroke functional status and significant stroke severity with a LCIS on initial imaging.
- The results reframe current evidence regarding the role of reperfusion therapies in those with larger areas of presumed irreversible ischemia.
