Background The effect of endovascular thrombectomy that is performed more than 6 hours
after the onset of ischemic stroke is uncertain. Patients with a clinical deficit that is …

Background Data from trials investigating the effects and risks of endovascular thrombectomy
for the treatment of stroke due to basilar-artery occlusion are limited. Methods We …

Background Among patients with acute ischemic stroke due to occlusions in the proximal
anterior intracranial circulation, less than 40% regain functional independence when treated …

Importance Endovascular thrombectomy with second-generation devices is beneficial for
patients with ischemic stroke due to intracranial large-vessel occlusions. Delineation of the …

Background The Solitaire Flow Restoration Device is a novel, self-expanding stent retriever
designed to yield rapid flow restoration in acute cerebral ischaemia. We compared the …

Background Present mechanical devices are unable to achieve recanalisation in up to 20–40%
of large vessel occlusion strokes. We compared efficacy and safety of the Trevo Retriever…

Methods A hybrid approach based on established processes described by Glaser15 and by
the National Institutes of Health (http://prevention. nih. gov/cdp/about. aspx) 16 was used to …

Background Previous randomised trials have shown an overwhelming benefit of mechanical
thrombectomy for treating patients with stroke caused by large vessel occlusion of the …

Background and Purpose— In acute ischemic stroke, fast and complete recanalization of the
occluded vessel is associated with improved outcomes. We describe a novel measure for …

Background Trials examining the benefit of thrombectomy in anterior circulation proximal
large vessel occlusion stroke have enrolled patients considered to have salvageable brain …
