Safety and efficacy of intensive blood pressure lowering after successful endovascular therapy in acute ischaemic stroke (BP-TARGET): a multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial

Study of 324 patients from 4 French stroke centres found BP target of 100–129 mmHg did not reduce radiographic intraparenchymal haemorrhage rates at 24–36 h vs standard care systolic BP target of 130–185 mm Hg (42% VS 43%; OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.60–1.51; p=0.84).
