(AIS) are complex issues, dependent upon various factors, such as the site of vessel occlusion, extent of cerebral ischemia, and patient comorbidities. 1 Since multiple positive clinical trials of endovascular therapy (EVT) were published in 2015, and subsequent wide utilization of EVT, BP-lowering treatment has attracted attention for its potential in mitigating reperfusion injury. 1 Although observational studies are consistent in demonstrating a strong link between elevated BP after reperfusion and poor outcome, 2, 3 further reinforced in meta-analysis, 4 the benefits of altering BP after AIS has yet to be proven. Post-AIS hypertension may simply be a marker of neurological severity, underlying chronic hypertension, or other comorbid factors related to poor outcome, 5 further reinforced by the neutral results of randomized trials in AIS to date. 6, 7 The 2019 American Heart Association/American Stroke Association guidelines recommended a BP goal of 180/105 after EVT, as a reasonable extrapolation from the intravenous thrombolysis literature. 8 However, this may not be appropriate for patients with AIS receiving EVT, as evident by the variable adoption of these recommendations by providers in the United States9; and emphasizing the need for more randomized controlled trials to assess the efficacy and safety of intensive BP lowering (or enhancement) in this important patient group. The BP TARGET (Blood Pressure Target in Acute Stroke to Reduce Hemorrhage After EndovascularTherapy) is the first such multicenter clinical trial conducted in France, which has a prospective randomized open blinded end point design to evaluate the impact of intensive systolic BP (SBP) reduction on outcomes after successful post-EVT reperfusion (modified treatment in cerebral ischemia 2b–3). 10 Eligible adult patients with AIS from proximal vessel occlusion of the anterior circulation (intracranial carotid or proximal middle [M1] cerebral arteries, or both) with SBP≥ 130 mm Hg after successful reperfusion at the end of EVT were randomly assigned to standard (130–185 mm Hg) or intensive (100–129 mm Hg) SBP targets, to be achieved within 1 hour. The study enrolled 324 patients (162 in each arm), including 236 (74%) with isolated middle cerebral artery occlusion and 172 (54%) achieving complete reperfusion (modified treatment in cerebral ischemia 3) at the end of procedure.
