This study aims to determine if adding cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) stenting to endovascular thrombectomy improves functional outcomes at 90 days.
Phase III multi-centre randomized trial with 458 adults enrolled.
Participants randomized to ICA stenting during EVT or EVT alone.
Primary outcome assessed using modified Rankin scale at 90 days post-treatment.
Primary hypothesis predicts 55% of stenting group achieving mRS 0-2 versus 40% for no stenting.
Safety outcomes include rates of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and procedural complications.
Analysis planned by intention-to-treat.

Implication

Randomized trial evaluates stenting versus no stenting for better outcomes in acute stroke patients.
