Acute stroke management has been revolutionised by evidence of the effectiveness of
thrombectomy. Because time is brain in stroke care, the speed with which a patient with …

Acute ischemic stroke is a severe and life-threatening disease, particularly when caused by
a large-vessel occlusion. The only available 2 treatment options are intravenous alteplase …

Background Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has become the cornerstone of acute ischemic
stroke management in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO). Objective To assist …

Background and Purpose: Mechanical thrombectomy helps prevent disability in patients with
acute ischemic stroke involving occlusion of a large cerebral vessel. Thrombectomy requires …

Importance The benefit of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke is
highly time-dependent, and it is challenging to expedite treatment for patients in remote …

Background and Purpose—Timely access to endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) centers is
vital for best acute ischemic stroke outcomes. Methods—US stroke-treating centers were …

Background and Purpose: Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the importance
of time to endovascular therapy (EVT) in clinical outcomes in large vessel occlusion (LVO) …

Importance A direct to angiography (DTA) treatment paradigm without repeated imaging for
transferred patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) may reduce time to endovascular …

Background and Purpose—Recent landmark trials provided overwhelming evidence for
effectiveness of endovascular stroke therapy (EST). Yet, the impact of these trials on clinical …

Background: There is growing evidence to suggest that the direct transfer to angiography
suite (DTAS) approach for patients with suspected large vessel occlusion stroke potentially …
