BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A number of studies have suggested that anesthesia type
(conscious sedation versus general anesthesia) during intra-arterial treatment for acute …

Background and Purpose—There is currently controversy on the ideal anesthesia strategy
during mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke. We performed a systematic …

Background and Purpose—In acute ischemic stroke, fast and complete recanalization of the
occluded vessel is associated with improved outcomes. We describe a novel measure for …

Importance Endovascular therapy (EVT) is the standard of care for select patients who had a
stroke caused by a large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation, but there is uncertainty …

Background and Purpose—Retrospective studies have found that patients receiving general
anesthesia for endovascular treatment in acute ischemic stroke have worse neurological …

Background: Reperfusion without functional independence (RFI) is an undesired outcome
following thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke. The primary objective was to evaluate, in …

Background—The Endovascular Treatment for Small Core and Proximal Occlusion Ischemic
Stroke (ESCAPE) trial used innovative imaging and aggressive target time metrics to …

Rationale Early reperfusion in patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke is critical,
especially for patients with large vessel occlusion who have poor prognosis without …

Limited data exist evaluating the effect of blood pressure (BP) on clinical outcomes among
patients with acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion treated with mechanical …

Background and Objectives There is uncertainty whether patients with large vessel
occlusion (LVO) presenting in the late 6-hour to 24-hour time window can be selected for …
