Liu Jianmin Team Publishes MILD-MT and LATE-MT Thrombectomy Trials in New England Journal of Medicine

Liu Jianmin's team simultaneously published the MILD-MT and LATE-MT results in the New England Journal of Medicine, showing that imaging-selected patients with mild stroke and those presenting 24 to 72 hours after onset can benefit from thrombectomy. MILD-MT screened 638 patients and enrolled 300; the thrombectomy group had better 90-day neurological recovery than best medical therapy, with lower risk of early neurological deterioration within 7 days and no increase in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.
