Streamlining the Path to Endovascular Reperfusion
In this issue of JAMA Neurology, Sarraj et al report on the associations of repeated imaging on arrival at an endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) –capable hospital with clinical outcomes after EVT. They studied an observational cohort of 2533 patients who had ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion within 24 hours of stroke onset. It is well understood that a favorable outcome depends on the time from stroke onset to reperfusion, and th ere is no doubt that proceeding directly to the angiography suite (DTA) saves time compared with repeating imaging (median time, 26 minutes shorter in Sarraj et al). Direct transfer to th...
