Intravenous thrombolysis + endovascular thrombectomy versus thrombolysis alone in large vessel occlusion mild stroke: a propensity score matched analysis

Abstract

In anterior circulation LVO patients presenting with NIHSS score ≤5, IVT + EVT (vs. IVT alone) was associated with poorer 3-month functional outcome. Randomized controlled trials are needed to elucidate the best treatments in mild LVO patients.
