BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A number of studies have suggested that anesthesia type
(conscious sedation versus general anesthesia) during intra-arterial treatment for acute …

Several methods were initially proposed using tools not dedicated to AIS including injection
of saline within the clot through a microcatheter, microwire manipulations of the clot, balloon …

Introduction The study attempts to identify notable factors predicting poor outcome, death,
and intracranial hemorrhage in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing mechanical …

Purpose Rapid revascularization in emergent large vessel occlusion with endovascular
embolectomy has proven clinical benefit. We sought to measure device–clot interaction as a …

Background Debate exists as to whether patients with acute ischemic stroke who are
undergoing mechanical thrombectomy should receive general anaesthesia or conscious …

Background and Purpose—At 1.5 T, diffusion-weighted imaging–fluid-attenuated inversion
recovery (DWI–FLAIR) mismatch helps identify strokes within 4.5 hours of onset. However, at …

Abstract In the United States, stroke ranks fifth among all causes of death and is the leading
cause of serious long-term disability. The 2018 American Heart Association stroke care …

Background and purpose Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy is emerging as a
promising therapeutic approach for acute ischemic stroke. This study was aimed at …
