Palliative Care for Hospitalized Patients With Stroke Clinical Sciences
This study explores patterns of palliative care utilization and death in hospitalized patients with stroke across the United States.Methods—Using the 2010 to 2012 nationwide inpatient sample databases, we included all patients discharged with stroke identified by International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision codes.

Systematic Evaluation of Patients Treated With Neurothrombectomy Devices for Acute Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—This largest-to-date Solitaire registry documents that the results of the randomized trials can be reproduced in the community. The decrease of clinical benefit over time warrants optimization of the system of care.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02239640.

First Pass Effect Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—The achievement of complete revascularization from a single Solitaire thrombectomy device pass (FPE) is associated with significantly higher rates of good clinical outcome. The FPE is more frequently associated with the use of balloon guide catheters and less likely to be achieved with internal carotid artery terminus occlusion.
