TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated rapid endovascular treatment in addition to standard care in patients with acute ischemic stroke with a small infarct core, a proximal intracranial arterial occlusion, and moderate-to-good collateral circulation.

TL;DR: Estimated ischaemic core volume was independently associated with functional independence and functional improvement but did not modify the treatment benefit of endovascular thrombectomy over standard medical therapy for improved functional outcome.

TL;DR: The results suggest preservation in the stroke care of higher severity of disease through the first pandemic year and a global decline and shift to lower volume centers of stroke admission volumes, ICH volumes, and IVT volumes during the 1st year of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the prior year.

TL;DR: Temple University Hospital is a large, urban tertiary care hospital that cares for more than 700 patients with strokes annually and is certified as a primary stroke center by the American Heart Association.

TL;DR: The proceedings of the close-out meeting of the ESCAPE trial investigators provide insights from the trialists into the issues of generalizability, treatment limitations, as well as future directions and opportunities in stroke care optimization.
