DOI: 10.1111/ene.14358
Abstract: BACKGROUND It is currently unknown whether mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for ischemic stroke patients with low initial Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) is clinically beneficial or even harmful. The purpose of this study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/neurintsurg-2018-013950
Abstract: Background Conventionally, ‘successful’ endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) had been defined as achieving revascularization of thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI)−2B or greater, rather than as ‘complete’ (TICI-3) versus ‘incomplete’ (TICI-2B) revascularization. Purpose We performed a systematic review… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/neurintsurg-2021-018436
Abstract: Most studies define the technical success of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) as a Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) revascularization grade of 2b or higher. However, growing evidence suggests that TICI 3 is the best angiographic predictor… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/str.51.suppl_1.tp34
Abstract: Introduction: Thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion is a highly effective therapy. However, meta-analyses of seminal trials show as many as 54% of thrombectomy patients do not achieve functional independence at 90… read more here.
