Number of Stentriever Passes and Outcome after Thrombectomy in Stroke
Conclusions:The number of passes needed to achieve target vessel recanalization modifies outcome after thrombectomy and successful recanalization after a single pass is associated with favorable outcome.

Thrombectomy or Intravenous Thrombolysis in patients with NIHSS of 5 or less?
Conclusions: MT in patients with minor strokes and intracranial vessel occlusion (IVO) is safe and can determine a rapid improvement of NIHSS score. MT seems also associated with a higher rate of patients discharged at home after hospitalization and better clinical outcome at 3-month follow-up. Larger randomized trials are warranted to confirm these results.

Predictors of favorable outcome after mechanical thrombectomy for anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke in octogenarians
Conclusions There is no reason to withhold mechanical thrombectomy on the basis of age alone. Small infarct core, low NIHSS, male gender and use of IVT are associated with a better functional outcome.

Transfer of stroke patients impairs eligibility for endovascular stroke treatment
Conclusions EST should be provided directly whenever possible as one in four transferred stroke patients becomes ineligible for EST during transfer. If direct transfer is not possible, indication for EST should be re-assessed after transfer.

Endovascular thrombectomy and medical therapy versus medical therapy alone in acute stroke: A randomized care trial
Conclusion A care trial was implemented to offer verifiable care to acute stroke patients. This approach offers a promising means to manage clinical dilemmas and guide uncertain practices.
