Mechanical thrombectomy: Review
Large vessel occlusion stroke contributes to disability and mortality out of proportion to its incidence. Over time it was noted that intravenous thrombolysis alone was not sufficient for this stroke type.

Mechanical thrombectomy in patients with stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation and low baseline NIHSS score [PDF]
We sought to verify the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation and low National Institute of Health stroke scale score at presentation.

Obesity and Mechanical Thrombectomy [PDF]
Background Obesity has been shown to have a positive mortality benefit in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, dialysis, those with rheumatoid arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and various wasting diseases. Studies for this mortality benefit in ischemic stroke patients are conflicting, and it has not been well studied

Mechanical Thrombectomy in Stroke [PDF]
The introduction of neurological stroke units and of thrombolysis with the intravenous (IV) administration of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) have markedly improved the treatment of stroke. Five randomized trials of catheter-based interventional treatment of stroke with special stents were published in 2015.Recently published ...

Mechanical thrombectomy: Answering unanswered
The stroke physician community witnessed a major "breakthrough" in acute stroke therapeutics when the results of the first of the many positive trials, "MR CLEAN," were published showing a significant absolute benefit in favor of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO). Thereafter, the investigators of ESCAPE, SWIFT PRIME,
