LATE-MT Trial: Thrombectomy 24-72 Hours Post-Stroke Raises Independent Living to 49% but Adds 4.8% Hemorrhage Risk
LATE-MT demonstrates thrombectomy can improve outcomes beyond 24 hours in selected patients but increases serious bleeding. Evidence remains single-region and requires replication. Future studies must address generalizability and optimal imaging thresholds.

Risk-benefit trade-offs require careful patient selection via advanced imaging; routine expansion risks excess harm without standardized protocols. Next steps include ongoing international trials and planned individual-patient meta-analyses to refine selection criteria before guideline updates.
⚡ Prediction
AHA guideline committee: Expanded 72-hour thrombectomy recommendation issued by Q4 2027 if two additional multinational RCTs confirm net benefit above 40% absolute gain.
