TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether endovascular thrombectomy alone is non-inferior to intravenous alteplase followed by end-ovascular surgery for achieving functional independence at 90 days among patients with ischemic stroke.

TL;DR: Among patients with acute BAO, EVT administered within 24 hours of estimated occlusion time is associated with better functional outcomes and reduced mortality, and this nonrandomized cohort study was a nationwide prospective registry of consecutive patients presenting with an acute, symptomatic, radiologically confirmed BAO to 47 comprehensive stroke centers in China.

TL;DR: Among patients with large vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular thrombectomy, treatment with intravenous tirofiban, compared with placebo, before endov vascular therapy resulted in no significant difference in disability severity at 90 days.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated clinical outcomes in young patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO) receiving endovascular therapy (EVT) and found that young patients were associated with better prognosis (mRS: adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21-2.54; mortality: aOR 0.60; 95% CI 0.38-0.93).
