Aggressive Medical Treatment With or Without Stenting in High-Risk Patients With Intracranial Artery Stenosis (Sammpris): The Final Results of a Randomised Trial

TLDR
The findings lend support to the use of aggressive medical management rather than PTAS with the Wingspan system in high-risk patients with atherosclerotic intracranial arterial stenosis.

Guidelines for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke A Guideline for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association

TL;DR: These guidelines supersede the prior 2007 guidelines and 2009 updates and support the overarching concept of stroke systems of care and detail aspects of stroke care from patient recognition; emergency medical services activation, transport, and triage; through the initial hours in the emergency department and stroke unit.

Clopidogrel with Aspirin in Acute Minor Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack

TL;DR: Among patients with TIA or minor stroke who can be treated within 24 hours after the onset of symptoms, the combination of clopidogrel and aspirin is superior to aspirin alone for reducing the risk of stroke in the first 90 days and does not increase the riskof hemorrhage.

Stroke Risk Factors, Genetics, and Prevention

TL;DR: Research into risk factors and genetics of stroke has not only identified those at risk for stroke but also identified ways to target at-risk populations for stroke prevention.

2018 Guidelines for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Guideline for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association

TL;DR: I alteplase treatment should be administered within 3 hours of acute ischemic stroke in appropriate patients and should not be delayed while waiting for hematologic or coagulation testing if there is no reason to suspect an abnormal test.

Analysis of pooled data from the randomised controlled trials of endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis.

TL;DR: Re-analysis of the trials with the same measurements and definitions yielded highly consistent results, indicating that surgery is of some benefit for patients with 50-69% symptomatic stenosis, and highly beneficial for those with 70% symptome stenosis or greater but without near-occlusion.

A Standardized Method for Measuring Intracranial Arterial Stenosis

TL;DR: This method shows good interobserver and intraobserver agreements for the measurement of intracranial stenosis of a major artery and may serve as a standard for this measurement.
