Current and future trends in acute ischemic stroke treatment: direct-to-angiography suite, middle vessel occlusion, large core, and minor strokes.

ABSTRACT: Since the publication of the landmark thrombectomy trials in 2015, the field of endovascular therapy for ischemic stroke has been rapidly growing. The very low number needed to treat to provide functional benefits shown by the initial randomized trials has led clinicians and investigators to seek to translate the benefits of endovascular therapy to other patient subgroups. Even if the treatment effect is diminished, currently available data has provided sufficient information to extend endovascular therapy to large infarct core patients. Recently, published data have also shown that sophisticated imaging is not necessary for late time- window patients. As a result, further research into patient selection and the stroke pathway now focuses on dramatically reducing door-to-groin times and im
