Maïer B, Fahed R, Khoury N, et al. - Using studies published after January 1, 2012 evaluating periprocedural blood pressure (BP) impact on functional outcome, researchers assessed the impact of periprocedural BP on functional outcome after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). The study sample consisted of 1,037 patients in nine studies. According to findings, a worse functional outcome can be linked to BP drops during MT. Also, no association between BP and functional outcome was observed when strict systolic BP targets are achieved. In randomized studies, both findings require further evaluation.
