Mechanical Thrombectomy and Final Infarct Volume in Medium or Distal Vessel Occlusion Stroke: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial

By MedXY 06/09/2026

In a post hoc analysis of the DISTAL trial, mechanical thrombectomy plus best medical treatment preserved more threatened brain tissue than medical treatment alone in medium or distal vessel occlusion stroke, and better tissue preservation was linked to improved 90-day outcomes.

RNS60 as Adjunctive Therapy in Acute Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke: Insights from the RESCUE Trial

By MedXY 09/22/2025

The RESCUE trial demonstrates that RNS60, a novel oxygen-supersaturated saline solution, is safe and reduces infarct growth when added to endovascular thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion, supporting further investigation in larger studies.
