Description
Rashad Mohamed and co-authors review studies that compare two ways to treat stroke from a blocked medium sized brain vessel. Their conference abstract from 2026 asks if giving a clot busting drug before clot removal helps, or if clot removal alone is just as good. Such blocks cause close to a third of acute strokes.
The team searched four large databases and found three studies with 1,001 patients in total. Good recovery at ninety days did not differ in a clear way between the two paths. Rates of reopening the vessel, bleeding in the brain, and death were also alike. More trials are still needed.
