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: 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: Oral fluoxetine 20 mg daily for 6 months after acute stroke did not improve functional outcome and increased the risk of falls, bone fractures, and epileptic seizures.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to define the effect of emotional symptoms on recurrent cerebrovascular events in patients with ischemic stroke.

TL;DR: The EXTEND-IA and ESCAPE trials provide the neurointerventional community with a large population of patients in whom rapid, aggressive management is indicated given the demonstrated efficacy of thrombectomy as well as the poor outcome associated with unreperfused large vessel stroke.
