Why the study?
Despite successful reperfusion with endovascular thrombectomy, downstream microvascular injury persists in acute ischemic stroke, prompting interest in remote ischemic conditioning as an adjunctive neuroprotective strategy.
Does remote ischemic conditioning improve functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular thrombectomy?
Does remote ischemic conditioning improve functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular thrombectomy?
Remote ischemic conditioning shows promise as an adjunctive neuroprotective strategy to improve long-term functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy.

May close the post-EVT disability gap with adjunctive neuroprotection; extends reperfusion trials to target excitotoxicity and injury.
