Medium Vessel Occlusions

Results from recent several trials provided data showing limits to the effectiveness of thrombectomy for ischemic stroke due to medium vessel occlusions.The benefit-risk profile of thrombolysis for these patients has never been investigated. We initiated a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open label, blinded-endpoint (PROBE) controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase (0.25mg/kg, maximum dose 25mg) compared to standard medical care for patients with acute ischemic stroke due to medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) within 4.5 to 24 hours from symptom onset.

The investigators initiated a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open label, blinded-endpoint (PROBE) controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of perfusion-guided endovascular treatment (EVT) compared to standard medical care for patients with acute ischemic stroke due to medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) within 24 hours from symptom onset.
