Effect of endovascular therapy in large anterior circulation ischaemic strokes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The benefit of endovascular treatment in large anterior circulation ischaemic strokes with low ASPECTS score (<6) is uncertain. Recent randomised studies have demonstrated the benefit of endovascular treatment (EVT) in large ischaemic strokes. The present meta-analysis aims to assess the combined effect of these studies on efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment in this group of patients.
