Regional Hypothermia in Combination With Endovascular Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke

The investigators have previous shown that regional hypothermia by the intra-arterial infusion of cold saline combined with mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke is feasible and safe. The safety of selective brain cooling in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy, however, is not established in a randomized trial. The investigators therefore conducted this RCT study to further explore the safety of regional hypothermia in patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy.
