TL;DR: Among patients with acute stroke who had last been known to be well 6 to 24 hours earlier and who had a mismatch between clinical deficit and infarct, outcomes for disability at 90 days were better with thrombectomy plus standard care than with standard care alone.

TL;DR: A favorable penumbral pattern on neuroimaging did not identify patients who would differentially benefit from endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke, nor was embolectomy shown to be superior to standard care.

TL;DR: A multidisciplinary panel of neurointerventionalists, neuroradiologists, and stroke neurologists with extensive experience in neuroimaging and IAT, convened at the “Consensus Meeting on Revascularization Grading Following Endovascular Therapy” with the goal of addressing heterogeneity in cerebral angiographic revascularization grading.

TL;DR: The radiologist needs to determine the quality of a CT pulmonary angiographic study and whether pulmonary embolism is present, and which pulmonary arteries have been rendered indeterminate and whether additional imaging is necessary.

TL;DR: Consistent with angiographic studies, leptomeningeal collaterals on CT angiography are also a reliable marker of good outcome in ischemic stroke.
