Importance The benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with stroke presenting
with mild deficits (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score< 6) owing to …

Endovascular therapy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke in selected patients has recently been
proven effective in several clinical trials, and the widespread adoption of thrombectomy into …

The cerebral collaterals play an important role in penumbral tissue sustenance after an
acute ischaemic stroke. Recent studies have demonstrated the potential role of collaterals in …

Background It is uncertain whether mechanical thrombectomy (MT) increases the probability
of a good outcome (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0–2) in patients with Alberta Stroke …

Background Benefit of thrombectomy in patients with a low initial Alberta Stroke Program
Early CT Score (ASPECTS) is still uncertain. We hypothesized that, despite low ASPECTS …

Objective In this multicenter study, we sought to evaluate comparative safety and efficacy of
combined IV thrombolysis (IVT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) vs direct MT in …

Background and purpose We investigated the effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis
(IVT) in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel or distal occlusions and mild …

Purpose Recently, a large number of patients with acute ischemic stroke benefited from the
use of thrombectomy, a minimally invasive intervention technique for mechanically removing …

Background The DEFUSE 3 and DAWN trials have shown the benefit of thrombectomy
beyond 6 hours of stroke symptom onset in carefully selected patients. Objective To evaluate …

Background and purpose The real-life application of DAWN and DEFUSE-3 trials has been
poorly investigated. We aimed to identify the proportion of patients with acute ischemic …
