NEJM Study Assesses Late-Window Thrombectomy for Large-Vessel Stroke, 24 to 72 Hours After Onset
Start here
A study published ahead of print in the New England Journal of Medicine evaluates clinical outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy performed 24 to 72 hours after large-vessel ischemic stroke. The trial pushes beyond the currently treated extended window, asking whether removing a clot a full day or more after symptom onset still benefits patients with large-vessel occlusion. As an Ahead of Print article, it does not yet report sample size, primary endpoint, or efficacy data, so the central question of whether late thrombectomy improves outcomes after 24 hours remains open until the full results are released.
