This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endovascular therapy in comparison to medical management for acute posterior cerebral artery occlusion.
Conducted a meta-analysis of studies comparing endovascular therapy to medical management in patients with PCA stroke.
Evaluated safety and neurological outcomes of both interventions.
Included diverse clinical trials for comprehensive analysis.
Endovascular therapy showed significant neurological improvement compared to medical management.
Functional recovery did not significantly differ between the two treatment methods.
Findings suggest that while EVT improves neurological status, it may not enhance overall functional outcomes.

Implication

Meta-analysis compares neurological outcomes of endovascular therapy and medical management in stroke patients, indicating effectiveness without functional superiority.

Abstract
