Hemorrhagic transformation after endovascular therapy - Asymptomatic or agnostic? [JNS457 Editor's Choice]

The quandary persists, how can “asymptomatic” HT be linked with a serious adverse event and worse clinical outcomes, whether due to spontaneous recanalization, IVT or EVT? Perhaps, the stroke community is agnostic to ever knowing or realizing the actual causal relationship of HT with respect to individual patient-related factors or specific treatments, including combinations with IVT and EVT. It is also quite arbitrary to designate certain cases of HT as “asymptomatic” when we truly cannot disprove a link with symptoms or long-term clinical outcomes. In short, it is increasingly clear that our current definitions of HT require an update in 2024.
