Summary

This study looked at 330 adults with a severe type of stroke caused by a blocked artery at the base of the brain. It compared giving a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase) plus a procedure to remove the clot (endovascular thrombectomy) versus the procedure alone, when treatment started 4.5 to 24 hours after stroke symptoms. The goal was to see if the drug-plus-procedure approach helps more people recover with little or no disability by 90 days.
