Background Accurate assessment of the prevalence of large vessel occlusion (LVO) in
patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is critical for optimal resource allocation …

Introduction Accurate estimation of the incidence of large vessel occlusion (LVO) is critical
for planning stroke systems of care and approximating workforce requirements. This …

Background Acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) can result from thromboemboli or
underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD). Although the technique for …

Background Data on large vessel strokes are important for resource allocation and
infrastructure development. Objective To determine an annual incidence of large vessel …

Introduction The minimal stroke severity justifying endovascular intervention remains
elusive; however, a significant proportion of patients presenting with large vessel occlusion …

Background Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to emergent large-vessel occlusion (ELVO) has
a poor prognosis. Objective To examine the hypothesis that a better collateral score on …

Introduction Mechanical thrombectomy has become the standard of care for management of
most large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes. When patients with LVO present with minor …

Background: Mechanical thrombectomy is the standard of care for patients with large vessel
occlusion (LVO) presenting with severe symptoms; however, little is known about the best …

Introduction—Endovascular thrombectomy is a highly efficacious treatment for large vessel
occlusion (LVO). LVO prediction instruments, based on stroke signs and symptoms, have …

Objective To summarize the current literature regarding the initial hospital management of
patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) secondary to emergent large vessel occlusion …
