Importance: Efficient care processes are crucial to minimize treatment delays and improve outcome after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with ischemic stroke. A potential means to improve care processes is performance feedback.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of performance feedback to hospitals on treatment times for EVT.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at whether a medical procedure called thrombectomy helps patients who have a large stroke as seen on a specific type of scan called a noncontrast CT within 24 hours of having the stroke.
- It involved 300 patients from different hospitals who were split into two groups; one group received the thrombectomy treatment, while the other only received regular care.
- The main goal was to see if those who had thrombectomy had better recovery after 90 days compared to those who didn’t, along with checking if there were any serious side effects.
Background: This study aimed to compare direct aspiration, stent retriever, and the combined thrombectomy technique on clinical, safety, and technical outcomes in late-window stroke patients included in the MR CLEAN-LATE trial.
Methods: This post hoc analysis of the MR CLEAN-LATE trial included patients treated with direct aspiration, stent retriever, or combined thrombectomy technique as first-line approach. Primary outcome was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days follow-up, and compared between the three groups with ordinal logistic regression analysis.
Background: The extended Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (eTICI) score is used in digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to quantify reperfusion grade in patients with an ischemic stroke who undergo endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). A previously developed automatic TICI score (autoTICI), which quantifies the ratio of reperfused pixels after EVT, demonstrates good correlation with eTICI.
Objective: To evaluate the autoTICI model in a large multicenter registry of patients with an ischemic stroke, investigate the association with visual eTICI, and compare prediction of functional outcome between autoTICI and eTICI.

Background: Computed tomography perfusion (CTP)-estimated core volume is associated with functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke. This relationship might differ among patients, depending on brain volume.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively included patients from the MR CLEAN Registry.
