Mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation and low baseline National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score: a multicenter retrospective matched analysis

Andrea Maria Alexandre et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion and baseline mild neurological symptoms. After propensity score matching, patients who received immediate mechanical thrombectomy had a higher chance of excellent outcome at 90 days compared to those who received best medical management/rescue mechanical thrombectomy, with a similar risk of death.

Multidomain cognitive dysfunction after minor stroke suggests generalized disruption of cognitive networks

Elisabeth B. Marsh et al.

Summary: Cognitive impairment is common across multiple domains following minor stroke, suggesting a global process such as network dysfunction that improves over 6 months. Degree of recovery can be predicted using baseline factors.

Mechanical thrombectomy in minor stroke due to isolated M2 occlusion: a multicenter retrospective matched analysis

Andrea M. Alexandre et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with isolated M2 occlusion and minor symptoms and identify possible baseline predictors of clinical outcome. The study found no significant differences in clinical outcome and safety measures between patients receiving early MT (eMT) and best medical management (BMM) with the possibility of rescue MT (rMT) on early neurological worsening. The involvement of the M2 inferior branch was associated with a favorable outcome.

More expansive horizons: a review of endovascular therapy for patients with low NIHSS scores

David J. McCarthy et al.

Summary: The efficacy of EVT for patients with low NIHSS scores remains uncertain, with significant heterogeneity and inconclusive results in existing literature. Future randomized clinical trials are needed to better understand the potential benefit of EVT in this patient population.

Complications of mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke: Incidence, risk factors, and clinical relevance in the Italian Registry of Endovascular Treatment in acute stroke

Giancarlo Salsano et al.

Summary: Complications of endovascular thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion strokes are not uncommon and may lead to poor clinical outcomes. Risk factors such as ongoing antiplatelet therapy, large vessel occlusion site, and demographic factors are associated with higher complication rates. Early recognition of these risk factors can help prevent and manage complications to maximize the benefits of endovascular thrombectomy.

Treatment and Outcome in Stroke Patients With Acute M2 Occlusion and Minor Neurological Deficits

Tomas Dobrocky et al.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with endovascular therapy (EVT) (+/- IVT) and IVT with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with peripheral middle cerebral artery occlusions and minor neurological deficits. The results showed similar effectiveness between IVT and EVT, as well as IVT and MT, in these patients, with a potential benefit of EVT in those treated after 2015.

Summary: The study compared outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and medical management in patients with minor stroke symptoms and found significant selection bias and heterogeneity in the literature. A randomized controlled trial is needed to further validate these results.
