Highlights
In the EnTRIPS multicenter randomized clinical trial, remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPC) started within 6 hours after endovascular treatment (EVT) did not significantly improve 90-day functional independence in patients with acute ischemic stroke who achieved successful recanalization.
Functional independence, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 2 at 90 days, occurred in 60.9% of the RIPC group and 57.8% of the control group, with an adjusted risk ratio of 1.07 (95% CI, 0.89-1.30; P=0.46).
