This topic has grown in importance because of the recent randomized controlled trials demonstrating the clear efficacy of endovascular stroke treatment. The authors, who were participants in that symposium, will highlight the points of emphasis in this article.AbbreviationsNINDSNational Institute of Neurological Disorders and StrokeECASSEuropean Cooperative Acute Stroke StudyMR CLEANMulticenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the NetherlandsESCAPEEndovascular Treatment for Small Core and Anterior Circulation Proximal Occlusion with Emphasis on Minimizing CT to Recanalization TimesEVTendovascular treatmentEXTEND-IAExtending the Time for Thrombolysis in Emergency Neurological Deficits–Intra-ArterialMR RESCUEMechanical Retrieval and Recanalization of Stroke Clots Using EmbolectomySWIFT-PRIMESolitaire With the Intention for Thrombectomy as Primary Endovascular Treatment ER -
