Quiz for DJR-156

The main goal of this Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial in the Netherlands was to gain nationwide coverage of endovascular procedures performed and assess if similar results could be achieved in routine clinical practice as were achieved in MR CLEAN.

BGC is abbreviated for what?

The aim of the present study is to compare outcomes after endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke with and without the use of a BGC in clinical practice.

Use of a BGC did not significantly improve patient outcomes based on the modified Rankin scale at 90 days (primary outcome measure), but did significantly improve postprocedure perfusion and early neurologic status based on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (secondary outcome measures).

A BGC was used in ___ patients, and a non-BGC was used in ____.

The primary outcome measure was the

Which group was associated with significantly improved outcome in terms of eTICI score and successful reperfusion achieved more frequently in?

Based on the findings here, there does appear to be a greater risk when using a BGC for stroke thrombectomy.
