Atherectomy Fails to Improve Limb-Based Outcomes in Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia: A Critical Analysis of the BEST-CLI Trial

By MedXY 01/16/2026

A secondary analysis of the BEST-CLI trial indicates that atherectomy does not improve outcomes for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia undergoing endovascular therapy, with some data even suggesting potential harm in technically successful cases.

Emergent Carotid Stenting for Tandem Lesions Yields Superior One-Year Outcomes: Evidence from the SECURIS Study

By MedXY 01/06/2026

The SECURIS study demonstrates that emergent carotid artery stenting (eCAS) for tandem lesions in acute ischemic stroke significantly improves one-year functional outcomes and recanalization success without increasing hemorrhagic risks compared to non-stenting approaches.

General Anesthesia May Improve 90‑Day Outcomes and Reperfusion After EVT for Large‑Vessel Ischemic Stroke: Key Takeaways from the SEGA Randomized Trial

By MedXY 12/07/2025

The SEGA randomized trial suggests general anesthesia (GA) during endovascular therapy for large‑vessel occlusion stroke may lead to better 90‑day functional outcomes and higher reperfusion rates than moderate sedation, though credible intervals overlap and uncertainties remain.

Noncontrast CT vs CT Perfusion Imaging in Acute Stroke: Comparative Insights from Recent Trials and Systematic Review

By MedXY 08/17/2025

Recent evidence from randomized trials and meta-analyses suggests that noncontrast CT (NCCT) offers comparable outcome prediction to CT perfusion (CTP) for selecting patients with acute ischemic stroke, including basilar artery occlusion, for endovascular therapy (EVT).
