While mechanical thrombectomy for large-vessel occlusions is now an evidence-based
treatment, its efficacy and safety in minor stroke syndromes (NIHSS≤ 5) is not proved. We …

Background and Purpose—We aimed to describe the safety and efficacy of immediate
mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with large vessel occlusions and low National …

Purpose To determine the outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) versus medical
management in patients with minor stroke symptomatology. Methods A meta-analysis was …

Goal: Insufficient data is available about safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment (EVT)
in patients with minor stroke symptoms because these patients were excluded from most …

Background and Purpose—Proximal large vessel occlusion (LVO) is present in up to 30% of
minor strokes. The effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in the subgroup of minor …

Purpose Beyond intravenous thrombolysis, evidence is lacking on acute treatment of minor
stroke caused by large artery occlusion. To identify candidates for additional endovascular …

Background It remains uncertain whether patients with minor acute ischemic stroke with
large vessel occlusion benefit from endovascular treatment (EVT). We aim to evaluate the …

Background and Purpose—Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is effective for acute
ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale …

Background and purpose To compare outcomes of minor stroke patients with intracranial
vessel occlusions (IVO) underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT) versus those treated with …

Background To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) to treat
large vessel occlusion (LVO) in patients with acute, minor stroke (National Institute of Health …
