Intra-arterial Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke With Medium Vessel Occlusion
Sponsor: The Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University
Summary
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) poses a significant clinical challenge. Recent large randomized controlled trials, DISTAL and ESCAPE-MeVO, demonstrated no significant benefit of endovascular therapy in patients with MeVO. Although intra-arterial thrombolysis has shown promise in clinical experience, robust evidence supporting its efficacy in MeVO-related AIS is still absent. To fill this gap, the RESCUE MeVO trial has been designed as a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end-point (PROBE) study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial thrombolysis in patients with AIS caused by MeVO.
