The central aim is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment for progressive strokes occurring beyond 24 hours after onset.
Used non-contrast CT to assess patients with low flow vessel occlusion.
Evaluated both safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment in this population.
Identified gaps highlighting the need for high-quality randomized trials.
Endovascular treatment showed potential safety in cases of progressive strokes beyond 24 hours.
Effectiveness in improving outcomes was indicated, although definitive evidence is pending.
Findings suggest a reconsideration of treatment timelines for acute ischemic strokes.
Abstract
The study highlights the safety and effectiveness of EVT in LVO for progressive strokes beyond 24 h based on NCCT head. However, further high quality randomized trials are needed to confirm this finding.
