A comparison of endovascular therapy and medical management in patients with large vessel occlusion mild stroke treated between 2015 and 2023: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Endovascular therapy (EVT) is recommended for patients with acute large-vessel occlusion (LVO) However, its efficacy and safety compared to medical management (MM) in patients with a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of ≤6 remains unclear. This meta-analysis compared EVT with medical MM in patients with large vessel occlusion mild stroke treated between 2015 and 2023, following the publication of the first randomized controlled trial.
