Basilar Artery Blockage. Bolus Breakthrough. Better Outcomes. 🧠💉📈

from Dr RR Baliga's "Got Knowledge Doc" Podkast · host MasterMedFacts LLC

Can a single bolus change the fate of a devastating stroke? 🧠💉 The TRACE-5 trial (Lancet 2026) shows that tenecteplase within 24 h for basilar artery occlusion improves excellent functional outcomes (38% vs 29%; RR 1.50, p=0.014) without increased haemorrhage or mortality. 📊 Pragmatic design. No mandatory advanced imaging. Feasible globally. 🌍 If confirmed beyond Asian cohorts, this could reshape late-window stroke care. Single shot. Shifted scale. Strong signal. 🚑📈
