Summary

This study tested whether giving a powerful cholesterol-lowering drug (evolocumab) within 6 hours after stroke clot removal could prevent early neurological worsening. 60 adults with large-vessel stroke were randomly assigned to receive either the drug plus standard care or standard care alone. The main goal was to see if the drug reduced the chance of early decline or death within a week.
