The results increase “my confidence that this approach has merit,” Lauren Sansing says. More trials are on the way.

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) does not lead to better outcomes at 90 days compared with usual care or best medical treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke due to medium vessel occlusion.
