Objective:

To determine the efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy combined with angioplasty and/or stenting versus mechanical thrombectomy alone in patients with large vessel occlusion due to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis, emphasizing the comparative aspect.

Key Findings:
  • Add a brief explanation of the implications of the findings.
Interpretation:

Elaborate on the significance of vessel-directed treatments in the context of high reocclusion rates.

Limitations:
  • Add a point regarding potential publication bias due to the limited number of studies.
Conclusion:

Suggest specific areas for future research to enhance understanding of angioplasty and/or stenting efficacy.
