Systemic THrombolysis Randomization IN Endovascular Stroke Therapy (SHRINE) Collaboration: a patient-level pooled analysis of the SKIP and DEVT Trials

Conclusions
The cumulative data of these two recent Asian trials failed to unequivocally demonstrate the non-inferiority of EVT alone over combined IVT+EVT. However, our study suggests a potential role for more individualized decision-making. Specifically, Asian patients with stroke onset to EVT longer than 180 min, as well as those with intracranial ICA occlusions and those with atrial fibrillation might have better outcomes with EVT alone than with combined IVT+EVT.
