Summary
The EXTEND-IA trial compared endovascular therapy with the Solitaire FR flow restoration stent retriever after intravenous tissue plasminogen activator versus tissue plasminogen activator alone for ischemic stroke. Mechanical thrombectomy was beneficial in patients with large vessel occlusion and salvageable ischemic tissue.
