Long-Term Gains vs. Short-Term Risks: Decoding the Role of Bailout Angioplasty in Acute Large Vessel Occlusion

By MedXY 01/18/2026

The ANGEL-REBOOT trial reveals that while bailout angioplasty (BAOS) increases short-term procedural risks, it significantly improves one-year functional outcomes and reduces stroke recurrence in patients with failed thrombectomy or high-grade residual stenosis.

Giving Thrombolysis Late — Before Transfer for Thrombectomy — May Improve Outcomes in AIS-LVO: Evidence from a 20-Center French Cohort

By MedXY 12/09/2025

A multicenter retrospective cohort found that IV thrombolysis started beyond 4.5 hours and before interhospital transfer for EVT was associated with higher rates of spontaneous recanalization during transfer and better 3‑month functional outcomes without increased hemorrhage.

Pretransfer IV Thrombolysis in Basilar Artery Occlusion: Improved Recanalization and 3‑Month Outcomes Without Clear Safety Signals

By MedXY 12/06/2025

In transferred patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO), IV thrombolysis before transfer was associated with higher rates of basilar recanalization and better 3‑month functional outcomes, with no significant increase in mortality or 24‑hour intracerebral hemorrhage.

Thrombolysis Before Thrombectomy May Raise ICH Risk After Stroke: A Comprehensive Review of Recent Evidence

By MedXY 08/19/2025

A meta-analysis of over 2000 stroke patients found that intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before endovascular treatment (EVT) modestly increases intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) risk, especially in patients with elevated glucose and blood pressure, though functional benefits may still outweigh risks.
