Early minimally invasive image-guided endoscopic evacuation of intracerebral hemorrhage (EMINENT-ICH): a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage is the deadliest form of stroke with mortality rates over 50%. Currently, no sufficiently effective treatment to improve both mortality and functional outcome rates exists. However, it seems that minimally invasive surgery, especially endoscopic surgery, might be beneficial in improving survival and functional outcome rates, yet large confirmatory studies thereof are lacking. The aim of this trial is to compare whether early minimally invasive endoscopic surgery leads to improved functional outcome rates compared to the best medical treatment.

Methods

This is a prospective, parallel-arm, outcome assessor blinded multicenter trial across Switzerland. Endoscopic surgery will be compared to the best medical treatmen
