A new report discusses research conducted at the University of Wisconsin on the ideal systolic blood pressure (SBP) target for patients with acute ischemic stroke following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). The study aimed to determine the relationship between reducing SBP and clinical outcomes and the therapeutic efficacy of moderate and intensive SBP reduction post EVT. The meta-analysis included eight studies with a total of 2,922 patients and found that there was no difference in functional independence at 90 days post-EVT between intensive SBP reduction, moderate SBP reduction, and standard SBP reduction. The risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage did not significantly differ between the groups. The research concluded that there was no difference in functional independence at 90 days in acute ischemic stroke patients with either intensive SBP reduction or moderate SBP reduction compared to standard SBP reduction post-EVT.
