Endovascular treatment is a highly effective therapy for acute ischemic stroke due to large
vessel occlusion. However, in clinical practice, nearly half of the patients do not have …

Large vessel occlusion stroke due to underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD-
LVO) is prevalent in 10 to 30% of LVOs depending on patient factors such as vascular risk …

Background The role of endovascular therapy for acute stroke with a large infarction has not
been extensively studied in differing populations. Methods We conducted a multicenter …

Background The optimum systolic blood pressure after endovascular thrombectomy for
acute ischaemic stroke is uncertain. We aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of blood …

In 1981, the dismal outcomes of patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO) inspired the first
reports of intra-arterial thrombolytic treatment in BAO. These reports were among the first to …

Background Whether intravenous thrombolysis before mechanical thrombectomy provides
additional benefit for functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke remains uncertain. We …

Intravenous thrombolytics and endovascular thrombectomy for ischemic stroke have evolved
in parallel. However, the best approach to combine these reperfusion therapies in patients …

Background: In patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT), adjunctive
antithrombotic might improve angiographic reperfusion, reduce the risk of distal emboli and …

Background: Sex disparities in acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) following endovascular
treatment (EVT) have been recently reported. However, there is uncertainty about the effect …

Introduction Uncertainty remains on the optimal management of basilar artery occlusion
(BAO). Two large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in 2019 and 2021 demonstrated …
