In large-core ischemic stroke with onset in the past 24 h, EVT vs. medical therapy improves functional outcomes and reduces mortality at 90 d

Listen to this summary

The authors investigate whether endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) provides better functional outcomes and reduces mortality compared to medical therapy in patients with large-core ischemic stroke that has occurred within the past 24 hours. Their findings suggest that EVT significantly improves patient outcomes at 90 days post-treatment.
