Optimizing Blood Pressure Control Post-Endovascular Stroke Therapy
A randomized clinical trial involving 120 participants with acute ischemic stroke who underwent successful endovascular therapy found that lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) targets of less than either 140 mm Hg or 160 mm Hg did not meet the criteria for futility compared to the guideline-recommended target of 180 mm Hg or less. However, the findings suggested a low probability of benefit from lower SBP targets if tested in a future larger trial.
