Sedation vs. Intubation for Endovascular Stroke TreAtment (SIESTA) – a randomized monocentric trial
ConclusionThe aims of this study are to prospectively clarify whether the non‐intubated state of conscious sedation is feasible, safe, and superior with regard to early neurological improvement compared to the intubated state of general anesthesia in patients receiving acute endovascular stroke treatment.

The THRIVE score strongly predicts outcomes in patients treated with the Solitaire device in the SWIFT and STAR trials
ConclusionsThe THRIVE score strongly predicts clinical outcome and mortality in patients treated with the Solitaire device in the SWIFT and STAR trials. The lack of interaction between THRIVE and procedure‐specific elements such as vessel recanalization or device choice makes the THRIVE score a reasonable candidate for use as a patient selection criterion in stroke clinical trials.
