Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
TRIAGE-STROKE: Treatment strategy In Acute larGE vessel occlusion: Prioritize IV or endovascular treatment-A randomized trial.
For patients with acute ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusions, intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular therapy are standard of care, but the effect of endovascular therapy is superior to intravenous thrombolysis. If a severe stroke with symptoms indicating large vessel occlusions occurs in the catchment area of a primary stroke center, there is equipoise regarding optimal transport strategy. ⋯ Study results will influence decision making regarding transport strategy for patients with suspected large vessel occlusions.
