Stroke treatment is very difficult. Antithrombotics are dangerous during stroke thrombectomy, according to a recent study published in the Lancet. Therefore giving Antithrombotics like IV aspirin and/or unfractionated heparin during endovascular stroke treatment does not seem to be a good idea reveals the MR CLEAN-MED trial.
