Cerebrovascular Disorder Occlusive

Endovascular therapy (EVT) added on best medical management is currently recommended in acute large vascular occlusion (LVO) stroke patients with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score \>5. Thus, a sizeable fraction of patients with a minor stroke that do not undergo cerebrovascular screening may experience an early neurological deterioration (END) due to LVO, possibly leading to poor long-term functional outcome. However, whether these patients may still benefit from a rescue EVT is unknown, especially in a late window (\>24 hours). In this study, the investigators assume that best medical management plus EVT might be superior than best medical management alone in a late window for minor stroke patients who have experienced an LVO and END. The primary objective of the study was to establish the safety and efficacy of EVT in a late window for minor stroke patients in the anterior circulation who experienced an LVO and END.
