Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Stroke —Reply
In Reply We read with interest the letter by Seners and colleagues regarding our recent publication. The possibility of early recanalization among patients with acute ischemic stroke and a proximal intracranial occlusion was underestimated in the recent trials on mechanical thrombectomy (MT) because vascular imaging was in part done after starting intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), particularly in the MR CLEAN trial. However, Seners et al observed higher recanalization rates for M1 and M2 occlusions at an early stage, but this was not the case for carotid occlusions. Additionally, they defined early recanalization as happenin...

Childhood Body Mass Index and First Adult Ischemic Stroke
This population-based cohort study of schoolchildren born from the 1930s through the 1980s in Denmark investigates whether childhood body mass index (BMI) and change in BMI are associated with adult ischemic stroke and assesses whether the associations are age dependent or influenced by birth weight.

Keeping Faith With Patients After Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack
I recently recommended statin therapy to a 68-year-old patient, explaining that it would reduce his risk of a major coronary event or stroke in the next 10 years from 18% to 15%. He asked, “But how will we know if it works?” I confessed we never would because success would be an uneventful walk through good health. He was not sold.

Additional Factors in Considering Patent Foramen Ovale Closure to Prevent Recurrent Ischemic Stroke
To the Editor In his Viewpoint, Kamel addresses some issues with the randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure for preventing recurrent stroke and urges a judicious and evidence-based approach for patient selection. I would like to point out additional factors that further demonstrate need for extreme caution in selecting patients to undergo this procedure.

Additional Factors in Considering Patent Foramen Ovale Closure to Prevent Recurrent Ischemic Stroke —Reply
In Reply Powers raises several important issues that I did not address in detail in my Viewpoint about managing patent foramen ovale in patients with ischemic stroke. These additional points further highlight that many patients who are fully informed about the available data will reasonably choose medical therapy rather than patent foramen ovale closure.

Additional Factors Regarding Clinical Outcomes of General Anesthesia and Conscious Sedation for Acute Ischemic Stroke
To the Editor Simonsen et al concluded that general anesthesia (GA) did not influence infarct growth compared with conscious sedation in endovascular-treated patients with acute stroke. This is an interesting study that addresses topical questions. However, we would like to point out some limitations.
