TL;DR: Five patients younger than 50 years of age with large-vessel stroke and Covid-19 infection presented to a health system in New York City over a 2-week period with signs of stroke and infection.

TL;DR: Exceeding 60 min or 3 attempts should trigger careful assessment of futility and risks of continuing the procedure, and longer ET procedures lead to lower rates of functional independence and higher rates of sICH and complications.

TL;DR: The large effect size of ET on AIS outcomes is significantly diminished in the elderly population when using comparable selection criteria to those used in younger counterparts, which raises concerns about the risk–benefit ratio and the cost-effectiveness of performing this procedure inThe elderly before optimizing patient selection.

TL;DR: The literature has great variability regarding the definition of a WNA, and the most prevalent definition is a neck diameter of ≥ 4 mm or a dome-to-neck ratio of < 2, which is not the most appropriate and clinically useful definition.

TL;DR: Despite similar safety profiles, use of ADAPT is associated with higher rates of functional independence after posterior circulation thrombectomy compared to stent retriever or combined approach in large "real-world" retrospective study.
