Acute ischaemic stroke accounts for 6.5 million deaths per year, and by 2030 will result in
the annual loss of over 200 million disability-adjusted life years globally. There have been …

Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EVT) is widely accepted as the first-line treatment
for acute ischemic stroke in patients with large vessel occlusion. Being an invasive …

Objective To test the hypothesis that selection by initial imaging modality (MRI vs CT) is
associated with rate of futile recanalizations (FRs) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT), we …

Background and Purpose—We conducted a randomized exploratory study to assess safety
