[Correspondence] Complexity of the endovascular intervention and clinical outcomes in acute ischaemic stroke

We were particularly interested in the paper by Khatri and colleagues on time to angiographic reperfusion and clinical outcome after acute ischaemic stroke in the Interventional Management of Stroke phase 3 trial (IMS III). We obtained similar results (the odds ratio of favourable outcome [modified Rankin scale 0–1] was significantly decreased by the delay of endovascular treatment conclusion) in the SYNTHESIS Expansion trial, the findings of which were presented at the European Stroke Conference (May 6–9, 2014) but have not yet been submitted for publication.
