Intensive BP Lowering Harmful in Acute Ischemic Stroke: ENCHANTED2/MT
-
A large randomized trial that was investigating intensive lowering of blood pressure in acute ischemic stroke patients who had undergone mechanical thrombectomy has been stopped early because of safety concerns. Results from the ENCHANTED2/MT trial were presented by Craig Anderson, MD, professor of neurology and epidemiology, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, on October 28 at the 14th World Stroke Congress (WSC), which is taking place in Singapore.
