"The large vessel occlusion stroke is going to affect a larger territory of brain and when it's very proximal — for example in the internal carotid artery — it could impact the entire hemisphere.

Some patients with large vessel occlusion strokes may still benefit from thrombolysis even after the traditional 4.5-hour window, new analysis of the TIMELESS trial suggested.

Cleveland Clinic looked at over 1,200 young adult patients from 2017 to 2021 in Ohio. Of that group, nearly 20% had large-vessel occlusion ischemic strokes, very similar strokes to older adults.

Similarly, among patients with medium-vessel occlusion strokes in ESCAPE-MeVO, the EVT group was no more likely than controls to log favorable mRS scores of 0-1 at 90 days (41.6% vs 43.1% ...

We assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, patients with proximal cerebral vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation and a large infarct (as defined by an Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomographic ...
