Abstract

Several trials of endovascular treatment for patients with large-core acute ischemic stroke have been completed. Whereas future stroke clinical guidelines will provide specific recommendations, this advisory aims to summarize the results of these trials, analyze the commonalities and differences among the studies, and discuss the clinical implications of these new results.
