Cost-effectiveness of thrombectomy alone versus alteplase before thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke: results from the DIRECT-MT
CONCLUSIONS: In this economic analysis based on a trial conducted in China, the authors found that EVT alone was not associated with economic dominance over EVT+IVT in patients with anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion.PMID:36790013 | DOI:10.3171/2022.12.JNS221791

Endovascular treatment for calcified cerebral emboli in patients with acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: While patients with CCE had significantly lower reperfusion rates and less improvement on the NIHSS after EVT, CCE were not significantly associated with worse functional outcome or higher mortality rates. Therefore, EVT should still be considered in this specific group of patients.PMID:33799302 | DOI:10.3171/2020.9.JNS201798
