This study analyzes national trends in emergent interfacility ischemic stroke transfers among Medicare beneficiaries, revealing shifts in transfer rates, patient characteristics, and hospital features associated with transferred versus nont
This study demonstrates that quantifying disconnected white matter fibers via high-resolution disconnectome analysis predicts 90-day outcomes and identifies thrombectomy responders better than conventional measures in acute basilar artery o
A post hoc analysis of the BRIDGE-TNK trial reveals that intravenous tenecteplase before endovascular thrombectomy significantly improves functional independence in acute large-vessel occlusion stroke patients with extensive baseline ischem
This study reveals that female stroke patients are less frequently screened for large vessel occlusion (LVO) yet have a higher LVO prevalence and comparable thrombectomy use to males, with better long-term outcomes post-thrombectomy.
A large multinational RES-Q registry analysis suggests that the benefit of bridging thrombolysis before thrombectomy is greatest when treatment starts very early, with attenuation after 150 minutes.
A 24-year Swiss registry study shows modest improvement in pediatric stroke recognition, but most children are still diagnosed beyond thrombolysis and thrombectomy windows.
The EDESTROKE trial finds no significant difference in 90-day functional outcomes between early (<6h) and delayed (6-12h) extubation post-thrombectomy, shifting focus toward microvascular and hemodynamic optimization.
A prospective multicenter study reveals that the no-reflow phenomenon is a dynamic, evolving pathology following successful thrombectomy. It is significantly associated with infarct growth and poor functional outcomes, suggesting that achie
A post-hoc analysis of 1,040 LVO stroke patients reveals that the prognostic value of specific brain regions varies significantly between early (0-6h) and extended (6-24h) time windows, identifying the insula, caudate, and M6 as early-windo
The ANGEL-REBOOT trial reveals that while bailout angioplasty (BAOS) increases short-term procedural risks, it significantly improves one-year functional outcomes and reduces stroke recurrence in patients with failed thrombectomy or high-gr
The CERES-TANDEM study provides Class II evidence that emergent carotid stenting (eCAS) during endovascular thrombectomy for tandem lesions significantly improves 90-day functional outcomes without increasing hemorrhagic risk, supporting it
The multicenter CERES-TANDEM study provides Class II evidence that emergent carotid stenting (eCAS) during thrombectomy for tandem lesions significantly improves 90-day functional recovery without increasing the risk of symptomatic intracra
A multicenter registry study reveals that Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERT) are increasingly utilizing catheter-directed therapies, particularly mechanical thrombectomy, leading to significantly lower in-hospital mortality and shorte
Long-term data from the ATTENTION trial reveal that endovascular thrombectomy significantly improves functional outcomes and survival at three years for patients with basilar artery occlusion, establishing it as a durable standard of care.
A multicenter retrospective cohort found that IV thrombolysis started beyond 4.5 hours and before interhospital transfer for EVT was associated with higher rates of spontaneous recanalization during transfer and better 3‑month functional ou
In transferred patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO), IV thrombolysis before transfer was associated with higher rates of basilar recanalization and better 3‑month functional outcomes, with no significant increase in mortality or 24‑
A multicenter retrospective cohort (OPEN-WINDOW) found that IV thrombolysis given beyond 4.5 hours before interhospital transfer for EVT was associated with higher rates of recanalization during transfer and better 3‑month functional outcom
Intravenous antihypertensive use within 24 hours after successful EVT in acute ischemic stroke associates with poorer functional outcomes and higher mortality, underscoring the need for cautious blood pressure management strategies post-thr
A recent randomized clinical trial demonstrates that 0° head-of-bed positioning prior to thrombectomy in patients with large vessel occlusion stroke preserves neurological stability and reduces mortality compared to the conventional 30° ele
A meta-analysis of over 2000 stroke patients found that intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before endovascular treatment (EVT) modestly increases intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) risk, especially in patients with elevated glucose and blood pressur
