Acute Ischemic Stroke Due to Large Vessel Occlusion
Acute stroke reperfusion therapies have led to significant reduction in the morbidity and mortality associated with ischemic strokes due to large vessel occlusion. This article will discuss the prevalence, mechanism, diagnosis, and treatment options of acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion.

Time to Treatment with Endovascular Thrombectomy Remains a Critical Variable
this meta-analysis of thrombectomy in patients with large vessel ischemic stroke demonstrated that earlier treatment compared with medical therapy alone was associated with lower degrees of disability at three months.

Acute Ischemic Stroke: Focus on Reperfusion
Time is brain. Neural tissue’s exquisite sensitivity to ischemia indicates the emergency nature of acute stroke care. The faster that definitive stroke treatment is administered following the onset of ischemia, the better the outcomes.

Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke
MONOGRAPH: The faster definitive stroke treatment is administered, the better the outcomes. Unfortunately, most patients arrive too late.

Rate and Predictors of Futile Hospital Transfers for Acute Stroke Endovascular Therapy
A large number of futile transfers take place for consideration of endovascular therapy, and better selection criteria need to be developed.
