Background and Purpose: A recent randomized controlled trial DIRECT-MT (Direct Intra-
Arterial Thrombectomy to Revascularize AIS Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion Efficiently …

OBJECTIVE Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy is safe and effective for the treatment
of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large-vessel occlusion (LVO). Still, despite high rates of …

Rationale: Clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke due to medium vessel occlusion
(MeVO) are often poor when treated with best medical management. Data from non …

OBJECTIVE While the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for patients with anterior
circulation acute ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) has been clearly …

Recent clinical trials demonstrated that mechanical thrombectomy (MT) using second-
generation endovascular devices has beneficial effects in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to …

Background Although still recommended, using intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-
tPA) for large vessel occlusions (LVOs) has been questioned in the era of mechanical …

Objective: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is an effective treatment for large vessel occlusion
(LVO) with a high successful recanalization (SR) rate. However, MT fails in a proportion of …

Background Whether intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before mechanical thrombectomy (MT)
provides additional benefits remains controversial. We aimed to compare clinical and …

Background Patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic strokes
from large vessel occlusion (LVO) have better outcomes with effective reperfusion. However …

Background The safety and efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for proximal large
vessel occlusion after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) have been demonstrated. Clinical …
