MRI-defined Acute Ischemic Brain Lesions Can Predict Long-term Outcome After Endovascular Thrombectomy for LVO Stroke
Robert Regenhardt, MD, PhD, and Natalia S. Rost, MD, MPH, of the Department of Neurology, and colleagues found that among patients with large vessel occlusion stroke, ischemic lesions identified by MRI after endovascular thrombectomy were associated with both acute stroke severity and 90-day functional outcome.

No Sex Differences in Outcomes After Endovascular Thrombectomy for LVO Stroke
In a real-world analysis of patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy for stroke due to emergent large vessel occlusion, Massachusetts General Hospital researchers found women and men had comparable reperfusion rates and 90-day functional outcomes, even though women were older and had more pre-stroke disability.
