Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Trial of Endovascular Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke with Large Infarct.
The role of endovascular therapy for acute stroke with a large infarction has not been extensively studied in differing populations. ⋯ In a trial conducted in China, patients with large cerebral infarctions had better outcomes with endovascular therapy administered within 24 hours than with medical management alone but had more intracranial hemorrhages.
