Bypassing the Closest Stroke Center for Thrombectomy Candidates: What Additional Delay to Thrombolysis Is Acceptable?

TL;DR: The results suggest that patients with acute ischemic stroke with suspected large vessel occlusion should be redirected to a CSC if the additional delay to IVT is <30 minutes in urban and 50 minutes in rural settings.

Endovascular Therapy for Ischemic Stroke with Perfusion-Imaging Selection

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.
