Editorial Vascular disease and neurodegeneration: advancing together
On Feb 19, 2017, immediately before the International Stroke Conference, the MarkVCID consortium held its first meeting in Houston (TX, USA). The focus of this new research consortium is on understanding small vessel disease and its contributions to vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). For too long, research in dementia has neglected the most common comorbidity in elderly patients: cerebrovascular disease. Funders are now reversing this trend and encouraging research into the role of brain vessels in neurodegeneration, and MarkVCID is a momentous initiative in that direction.

Editorial The stroke care revolution
After the release of findings from highly anticipated trials at this year's International Stroke Conference in Nashville (TN, USA; Feb 10–13), attendees could not hide their enthusiasm. The excitement seems justified: endovascular therapy can improve functional outcomes in selected patients with stroke and might revolutionise standard care.

Correspondence Complexity of the endovascular intervention and clinical outcomes in acute ischaemic stroke
We were particularly interested in the paper by Khatri and colleagues on time to angiographic reperfusion and clinical outcome after acute ischaemic stroke in the Interventional Management of Stroke phase 3 trial (IMS III). We obtained similar results (the odds ratio of favourable outcome [modified Rankin scale 0–1] was significantly decreased by the delay of endovascular treatment conclusion) in the SYNTHESIS Expansion trial, the findings of which were presented at the European Stroke Conference (May 6–9, 2014) but have not yet been submitted for publication.
