Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke due to Distal Medium Vessel Occlusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (S10.003)

Studies exploring the efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs) have shown conflicting results. We thus performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare its efficacy and safety with the best medical therapy (BMT) in treating primary DMVOs.
