About this listen

The effectiveness of endovascular treatment (EVT) in cases of acute ischaemic stroke caused by distal medium vessel occlusion (DMVO) is still unclear. A study in the JNNP assessed the safety and effectiveness of EVT in comparison to the best medical management for DMVO. Podcast host Dr. Saima Chaudhry¹ spoke to some of the paper's authors, Dr. Adam Dmytriw², Dr. Vivek Yedavalli³ and Dr. Hamza Salim³.
