Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and efficacy of mechanical embolectomy in acute ischemic stroke: results of the MERCI trial.
Wade S. Smith,Gene Sung,Sidney Starkman,Jeffrey L. Saver,Chelsea S. Kidwell,Y. Pierre Gobin,Helmi L. Lutsep,Gary M. Nesbit,Thomas Grobelny,Marilyn M. Rymer,Isaac E. Silverman,Randall T. Higashida,Ronald F. Budzik,Michael P. Marks +13 more
TL;DR: A novel endovascular embolectomy device can significantly restore vascular patency during acute ischemic stroke within 8 hours of stroke symptom onset and provides an alternative intervention for patients who are otherwise ineligible for thrombolytics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke: Final Results of the Multi MERCI Trial
Wade S. Smith,Gene Sung,Jeffrey L. Saver,Ronald F. Budzik,Gary Duckwiler,David S Liebeskind,Helmi L. Lutsep,Marilyn M. Rymer,Randall T. Higashida,Sidney Starkman,Y. Pierre Gobin +10 more
TL;DR: Higher rates of recanalization were associated with a newer generation thrombectomy device compared with first-generation devices, but these differences did not achieve statistical significance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of Brain Death/Death by Neurologic Criteria: The World Brain Death Project.

TL;DR: Recommendations are provided for the minimum clinical standards for determination of brain death/death by neurologic criteria in adults and children with clear guidance for various clinical circumstances and have widespread international society endorsement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prehospital Use of Magnesium Sulfate as Neuroprotection in Acute Stroke
Jeffrey L. Saver,Sidney Starkman,Marc Eckstein,Marc Eckstein,Samuel J. Stratton,Franklin D Pratt,Franklin D Pratt,Scott Hamilton,Robin Conwit,David S Liebeskind,Gene Sung,Ian Kramer,Gary Moreau,Robert Goldweber,Nerses Sanossian +14 more
TL;DR: Prehospital initiation of magnesium sulfate therapy was safe and allowed the start of therapy within 2 hours after the onset of stroke symptoms, but it did not improve disability outcomes at 90 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of Good Clinical Outcomes, Mortality, and Successful Revascularization in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Undergoing Thrombectomy Pooled Analysis of the Mechanical Embolus Removal in Cerebral Ischemia (MERCI) and Multi MERCI Trials
TL;DR: Final recanalization status represents the strongest predictor of clinical outcomes in patients undergoing thrombectomy, and supports the inclusion of internal carotid artery occlusions in future efficacy trials.
