Intravenous tirofiban as an adjunct to EVT in posterior circulation strokes with tandem lesions

Mohamed Doheim, MD, The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), Pittsburgh, PA, discusses the use of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with posterior circulation strokes with tandem lesions. He then goes on to speak about a study investigating intravenous tirofiban as an adjunct to EVT in this patient population, which found significantly improved short-, intermediate-, and long-term outcomes in those who received tirofiban compared to those who didn't. This interview took place at the 2025 International Stroke Conference (ISC), held in Los Angeles, CA.
