Stroke·August 24, 2026·PMID 42634945

Why it matters

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage carries high morbidity and mortality, and surgical options have historically been limited by risk and lack of functional benefit. This advisory synthesizes new randomized data supporting minimally invasive evacuation, offering clinicians updated guidance on which patients may benefit and how to integrate these techniques into practice.
