Description
Patricia Gonzalez Feito and co-authors presented a conference abstract comparing two ways to treat a certain kind of stroke, at a 2026 meeting. The stroke type starts when the big neck artery, the internal carotid, blocks off while the brain arteries stay open. No trial has settled whether doctors should thread a catheter up to pull the clot out, or give clot-busting drugs through a vein instead. The team drew on a Spanish registry from eleven centers.
Sixty-four patients were covered. Forty had the catheter treatment and twenty-four had drugs alone. The catheter group arrived with worse deficits, which clouds the contest. Drug-only patients fared better overall, but among severe cases the two paths tied. In the catheter group, a shorter procedure and stronger side channels meant better outcomes. The authors say patient pick, not the tool alone, drives the gap.
