The HOPE Trial

Does personalized BP control after EVR (<160 for TICI 2B and <140 for TICI-2C/3) improve outcome compared to standard of care (SBP <180)?

Yes -- a 13% absolute increase in favorable outcome (mRS 0-2) and a 9% absolute decrease in hemorrhagic transformation.

Is this a new standard of care? Let us know what you think!
