Background: Several social and biological factors are shown to differentially affect stroke outcomes between men and women. We evaluated whether clinical outcomes and endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) treatment effects differed between the sexes in patients presenting with large ischemic stroke.
Methods: The SELECT2 trial (A Randomized Controlled Trial to Optimize Patient's Selection for Endovascular Treatment in Acute Ischemic Stroke) was a randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy and safety of EVT in patients with large strokes across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand between October 2019 and September 2022.

Methods: 63 patients with symptomatic isolated PCL-tears who underwent PCL-R were divided into two groups based on a PTS-angle with a cut-off value of 7-degrees: group-A (less than ≤7-degree) and group-B (more than >7-degree). All the patients were subjected to the same technique.
Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed decisions regarding decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) and early withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST) in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) and large ischemic strokes from the SELECT2 trial.* -
- Among 352 patients, DHC was utilized in 55 patients, and WLST was chosen for 81, showing no significant differences in usage between those receiving endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) and those treated medically.* -
- About 21% of DHC patients were able to walk independently after one year, indicating that DHC did not negatively impact the benefits of thrombectomy, while WLST generally resulted in poor outcomes.*
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effectiveness of endovascular therapy (EVT) versus best medical therapy (BMT) for isolated anterior cerebral artery occlusions (ACAo) in acute stroke patients.
- The analysis involved 108 patients from various countries, comparing outcomes like functional independence at 90 days, with results showing no significant difference in success rates between EVT and BMT.
- Conclusions indicate that while EVT had a high success rate in procedures, it did not lead to better functional outcomes or lower mortality compared to BMT, suggesting a need for more randomized trials.
