Background and Purpose—In acute ischemic stroke, fast and complete recanalization of the
occluded vessel is associated with improved outcomes. We describe a novel measure for …

Background Stent retriever thrombectomy of large-vessel occlusion results in better
outcomes than medical therapy alone. Alternative thrombectomy strategies, particularly a …

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

Object The development of self-expanding stents dedicated to intracranial use has
significantly widened the applicability of endovascular therapy to many intracranial …

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

Background and Purpose—Efficient and timely recanalization is an important goal in acute
stroke endovascular therapy. Several studies demonstrated improved recanalization and …

Rationale Efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy for acute stroke due to large vessel
occlusion initiated beyond 6 h of time last seen well has not been demonstrated in …

Background and purpose Endovascular techniques are frequently employed to treat large
artery occlusion in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We sought to determine the predictors and …

Background Limited post-marketing data exist on the use of the Solitaire FR device in
clinical practice. The North American Solitaire Stent Retriever Acute Stroke (NASA) registry …

Background Mechanical thrombectomy with stent-retrievers results in higher recanalization
rates compared with previous devices. Despite successful recanalization rates …
