Comparative Effectiveness of Mechanical Thrombectomy Techniques for Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke: A Network Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
BACKGROUND Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is a key intervention for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). Various MT strategies - stent retriever (SR), aspiration (Asp), and their combination (SR + Asp) - are widely used, but the optimal approach remains unclear. OBJECTIVES This network meta-analys...
