TL;DR: In patients with ischemic stroke with a proximal cerebral arterial occlusion and salvageable tissue on CT perfusion imaging, early thrombectomy with the Solitaire FR stent retriever, as compared with alteplase alone, improved reperfusion, early neurologic recovery, and functional outcome.

TL;DR: The clinical outcomes of patients with stroke with large vessel occlusion treated with direct endovascular thrombectomy within 4·5 h would be non-inferior compared with the outcomes of those treated with standard bridging therapy, as well as the intention-to-treat population, were hypothesized.

TL;DR: The natural history of pediatric patients with LVO stroke treated conservatively was poor, with most experiencing lifelong disability or death, as well as significantly worse clinical outcomes than patients with non-LVO at 3 months.

TL;DR: This study provides Class III evidence that EVT is associated with better motor outcomes 3 months after CTP-defined ischemic stroke with a core volume of 70–100 mL but not in those with core volume ≥100 mL.

TL;DR: In this paper , a retrospective analysis of patients transferred from 31 referring hospitals >300 miles (measured by the most direct road distance) to 9 comprehensive stroke centers in Australia and New Zealand for EVT consideration was conducted.
