Background The value of administering intravenous alteplase before endovascular treatment
(EVT) for acute ischemic stroke has not been studied extensively, particularly in non-Asian …

Background Evidence regarding whether imaging can be used effectively to select patients
for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is scarce. We aimed to investigate the association …

Background CT perfusion (CTP) and diffusion or perfusion MRI might assist patient selection
for endovascular thrombectomy. We aimed to establish whether imaging assessments of …

Background General anaesthesia (GA) during endovascular thrombectomy has been
associated with worse patient outcomes in observational studies compared with patients treated …

Background and Purpose— Thrombus imaging characteristics have been reported to be
useful to predict functional outcome and reperfusion in acute ischemic stroke. However, …

Background and Purpose— If a relationship between stroke etiology and thrombus computed
tomography characteristics exists, assessing these characteristics in clinical practice could …

Background and Purpose— The utility of computed tomographic perfusion (CTP)–based
patient selection for intra-arterial treatment of acute ischemic stroke has not been proven in …

Introduction Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion has a
poor prognosis if treated by intravenous thrombolysis. Intra-arterial (IA) treatment is a …

Importance A carotid web (CW) is a shelf-like lesion along the posterior wall of the internal
carotid artery bulb and an underrecognized cause of young stroke. Several studies suggest …

Background Intravenous thrombolysis is recommended before endovascular treatment, but
its value has been questioned in patients who are admitted directly to centres capable of …
