TL;DR: There was no evidence of a difference in favourable outcomes of patients receiving endovascular therapy compared with those receiving standard medical therapy alone, and the trial was terminated early after 131 patients had been randomly assigned because of high crossover rate and poor recruitment.

TL;DR: Evidence in real world to support the performance of EVT in acute anterior circulation stroke patients in Chinese population is provided, and patients with small infarct core, successful recanalization, good collateral status, and short treatment delay without sICH or pneumonia may benefit from EVT.

TL;DR: The severity of leukoaraiosis is independently associated with 90-day functional outcome in acute stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy with stent-retriever devices.

TL;DR: Patients with acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion due to atherosclerosis may benefit from urgent angioplasty and/or stenting as first-line therapy.

TL;DR: In patients with atherosclerotic disease, favorable reperfusion was associated with deployment of a small stent, and there was no evidence of a differential effect of intra-arterial therapy based on the size of Solitaire retrievers.
