Thrombectomy for stroke-flash in pan or game-changer?
There is emerging evidence that endovascular therapy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke significantly improved functional outcomes (without compromising safety) in patients with acute ischaemic stroke due to anterior circulation, large artery occlusion, compared with standard therapy.A recent spate of multiple trials have shown this, as did a pooled analysis-

It has also received endorsement from national societies and guidelines-

A large cohort study suggests that aspirin prophylaxis only benefits people with a prior cardiovascular event
Conclusions
In patients with stable coronary artery disease and hypertension, aspirin use was associated with reduced risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes among those with prior ischemic events. Among patients with no prior ischemic events, aspirin use was not associated with a reduction in risk.
COMMENT: The determining the risk/benefit ratio of prophylactic aspirin use for the prevention of cardiovascular events has become a complicated issue. The current recommendations from the CDC http://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/aspirin.htm recommend aspirin prophylaxis in those with prior cardiovascular events. Th...
