Large-Core Ischemic Stroke Endovascular Treatment
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
