Perspectives - Key findings and perspectives from the LASTE study, a trial of thrombectomy for stroke with a large infarct of unrestricted size

Prof. Vincent Costalat discusses the conclusions of the LASTE trial with Dr. Daniel Vela Duarte during  LINNC Paris 2024 . This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with large ischemic strokes (ASPECTS 0-5) within 7 hours of onset. Prof. Vincent Costalat highlights how MT, combined with the best medical treatment, could improve outcomes even for patients with substantial initial damage, challenging conventional exclusion criteria based on imaging.
