BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Mechanical thrombectomy is a promising means of
recanalizing acute cerebrovascular occlusions in certain situations. We sought to determine …

Objectives Many physicians debate the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy for ischaemic
stroke, but most agree that to establish potential benefit, patient selection must be examined …

Background There are limited data about the prognostic factors predicting outcomes after
mechanical thrombectomy with stent retrievers for the elderly. Here, we evaluated outcomes …

Background Stroke in aged patients has a relatively poor prognosis, even after recanalizing
therapy. Potential reasons include mechanisms that relate directly to the extent of brain …

OBJECTIVE Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is now the standard of care for acute ischemic
stroke (AIS) secondary to large-vessel occlusion, but there remains a question of whether …

Objective Mechanical thrombectomy is increasingly being used for the treatment of acute
ischemic stroke. The population over 80 years of age is growing, and many of these patients …

Background Pooled data of randomized controlled trials investigating mechanical
thrombectomy (MT) to treat anterior circulation large vessel occlusion have demonstrated …

Background Endovascular revascularization with mechanical devices has proven an
effective treatment for proximal occlusions of the major intracranial arteries in stroke patients …

Background Multiple studies have shown a clinical benefit of thrombectomy in acute
ischaemic stroke, but most of them excluded octogenarians. The purpose of this study was to …

Objectives: Endovascular treatment (EVT) has emerged as the gold standard therapy for
stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). There is however limited evidence to suggest …
