TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on expanding indications for EVT in several borderline indications such as patients in the extended time window, patients with extensive signs of infarction on admission imaging, elderly patients and patients with pre-existing deficits.

TL;DR: This review provides a brief overview about the rationale for and history of EVT, followed by a detailed step-by-step description of how to perform EVT using the BADDASS, a combined technique, which is in this opinion the safest and most effective way to achieve fast first-pass complete reperfusion.

TL;DR: Investigating the relationship between outcomes and age separately for the mTICI 2c/3, 2b and 0-2a groups in patients undergoing thrombectomy for anterior circulation emergent large vessel occlusion found increasing age was associated with worse outcomes for those with partial (mTicI 2b) recanalisation, not in patients with complete (m tICI2c/ 3) recAnalisation.

TL;DR: Diagnostic performance in ELVO detection with CTA was high across all levels of radiologist training level and grayscale inversion demonstrated minimal detectable benefit in the detection of proximal large vessel occlusions.

TL;DR: The combination of NCCT ASPECTS and CTA-CS has high sensitivity for identifying the target mismatch in the extended time window and there are gains in specificity with MRI-based imaging, potentially identifying treatment candidates who may have been excluded based on CT imaging alone.
