Network Meta-Analysis of Different Thrombolytic Strategies for the Treatment of Central Retinal Artery Occlusion

CONCLUSION: Both intravenous and intra-arterial thrombolytic strategies are effective for treating CRAO, but SUCRA results show that IVtPA may be the optimal strategy for treating CRAO. Furthermore, based on the results of subgroup analysis, we further speculate that IVtPA injection within 4.5 hours of the onset of CRAO should be the optimal thrombolytic option for treating CRAO. However, due to the limitations of all eligible studies, more studies are still required in the future to validate our findings.PMID:37644706 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2023.2249539
