Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the hallmark of evidence-based medicine and form
the basis for translating research data into clinical practice. This review summarizes …

Posterior circulation strokes represent approximately 20% of all ischemic strokes (,). In
contrast to the anterior circulation, several differences in presenting symptoms, clinical …

Background The effects and risks of endovascular thrombectomy 6 to 24 hours after stroke
onset due to basilar-artery occlusion have not been extensively studied. Methods In a trial …

Background The effectiveness of endovascular therapy in patients with stroke caused by
