Excerpt

A substantial proportion of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are ineligible for intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy may represent the best treatment alternative; however, data on the efficacy and safety of thrombectomy in these patients are sparse. The primary objective of the “Thrombectomy in patients ineligible for i.v.-tPA (THRILL)” study was to test the efficacy of thrombectomy with stent retrievers in AIS patients with large intracranial vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation who are not eligible for intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (i.v.-tPA) treatment, up to 8 h after symptom onset as compared to best medical care alone. The protocol has been published previously [1]. …
