stroke endovascular therapy. Several studies demonstrated improved recanalization and …

Background and Purpose— Angiographic revascularization grading after intra-arterial
stroke therapy is limited by poor standardization, making it unclear which scale is optimal for …

Background Limited post-marketing data exist on the use of the Solitaire FR device in clinical
practice. The North American Solitaire Stent Retriever Acute Stroke (NASA) registry aimed …

Background Mechanical thrombectomy with stent-retrievers results in higher recanalization
rates compared with previous devices. Despite successful recanalization rates (Thrombolysis …

Background and Purpose— Patients with posterior circulation strokes have been excluded
from recent randomized endovascular stroke trials. We reviewed the recent multicenter …

Background and Purpose— Previous work that predated the availability of the safer stent-retriever
devices has suggested that general anesthesia (GA) may have a negative impact on …

Objectives: Cerebral vasospasm is one of the leading causes of morbi-mortality following
