Research published recently in JAMA Neurology sought to answer whether there were significant differences in treatment outcomes of a stent retriever combined with local aspiration-based mechanical thrombectomy versus aspiration-based thrombectomy alone in large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke.
These findings add to the argument that treatment effects of mechanical thrombectomy devices in large-vessel acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remain unclear. Further research is needed to understand whether aspiration-assisted mechanical thrombectomy should be the standard of care for LVO, or whether reducing the number of treatment steps and using direct aspiration alone is more beneficial.
