BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Mechanical thrombectomy is beneficial for patients with
acute ischemic stroke and a proximal anterior occlusion, but it is unclear if these results can …

Background M2 segment occlusions represent approximately one-third of non-lacunar
ischemic stroke and can lead to permanent neurological deficits. Various techniques are …

Introduction: Single-pass complete reperfusion using stent retrievers has been shown to
improve functional outcome in patients with large vessel occlusion strokes. The aim of this …

OBJECTIVE Mechanical thrombectomy is effective in acute ischemic stroke secondary to
emergent large-vessel occlusion, but optimal efficacy is contingent on fast and complete …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Mechanical thrombectomy by using a single stent retriever
system has demonstrated high efficacy for recanalization of large-artery occlusions in acute …

Background To date there has been no direct comparison of two frequently used
endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) methods (forced arterial suction thrombectomy (FAST) …

Background The recent success of several mechanical thrombectomy trials has resulted in a
significant change in management for patients presenting with stroke. However, it is still …

BACKGROUND: Patient-specific factors associated with successful recanalization in
mechanical thrombectomy (MT) have been evaluated for acute ischemic stroke with large …

Background After a series of positive studies for mechanical thrombectomy in large vessel
occlusion acute ischemic stroke, the question remains, can symptomatic patients with distal …

Background There is growing evidence for the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in acute
stroke patients with large-vessel occlusions in the anterior circulation. Although distal …
