- Abstract
The article focuses on the evidence provided by the five published randomized controlled trials (RCT) in which endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) combined with medical treatment like intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) (IV thrombolysis, IVT) improves the outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Topics discussed include the benefit of EVT, recommendations on the organisation of interventional care in acute stroke, and questions to identify the potential of the evidence.
