These findings build on earlier results showing a threefold improvement in restoring blood flow compared with medical management alone (p<0.0001), with no cases of serious brain bleeding observed in the treatment group. “These results show we can now safely restore blood flow and suggest this will make a meaningful difference for the right patients,” said Jeffrey L. Saver, MD, UCLA, and Principal Investigator of DISTALS. “What’s important is that both the device and the trial were designed specifically for distal stroke.
