Description
Jeong-Yoon Lee and a large team of colleagues report a 2026 study of clot-removal treatment for a blocked artery at the base of the brain. Two major trials had shown the treatment works, but only in tightly picked patients. The team asked how it performs in everyday care, using a nationwide stroke registry.
Of more than forty-nine thousand stroke patients, about one thousand had this blockage. Most of them, nearly three quarters, would not have qualified for either trial. Treatment rates were highest in those who matched trial rules. Still, treated patients died less often at three months, even among those the trials would have excluded. Bleeding rates did not differ between groups. The authors argue the strict trial rules shut out many patients who could gain from treatment.
