Endovascular treatment is a highly effective therapy for acute ischemic stroke due to large
vessel occlusion and has recently revolutionized stroke care. Oftentimes, ischemic core …

While several large pivotal clinical trials recently revealed a substantial benefit of
endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large-vessel …

Importance The positive treatment effect of endovascular therapy (EVT) is assumed to be
caused by the preservation of brain tissue. It remains unclear to what extent the treatment …

Background The effect of infarct pattern on functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke is
incompletely understood. Purpose To investigate the association of qualitative and …

Despite improved treatment, a large portion of patients with acute ischemic stroke due to a
large vessel occlusion have poor functional outcome. Further research exploring novel …

Background Futile recanalization—when patients have a successful recanalization but fail to
achieve a satisfactory functional outcome—is a common phenomenon of endovascular …

Importance Some patients have poor outcomes despite small infarcts after endovascular
therapy (EVT), while others with large infarcts do well. Understanding why these …

Background Stroke is a common medical emergency responsible for significant mortality
and disability. Early identification improves outcomes by promoting access to time-critical …

Background We aimed to identify the large ischemic core (LIC) volume ranges in acute
ischemic stroke patients that can benefit from mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Methods …

Background Approximately one-third of patients with ischemic stroke treated with
endovascular treatment do not recover to functional independence despite rapid and …
