Published finding — does the expert body still believe it?
Retrievable stent retrievers are the predominant device used in intraarterial stroke treatment, employed in 81.5% of patients assigned to the intervention arm in this trial.
TL;DR · AI-generated
In patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by a proximal intracranial occlusion of the anterior circulation, intraarterial treatment administered within 6 hours after stroke onset was effective and safe.

Intraarterial treatment for acute ischemic stroke does not significantly increase mortality or symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage rates compared to usual care alone.

The functional benefit of intraarterial treatment is achievable even when the majority of patients (89%) have already received intravenous alteplase prior to endovascular intervention.

Intraarterial treatment plus usual care improved 90-day modified Rankin Scale scores compared to usual care alone in patients with acute ischemic stroke from proximal anterior circulation occlusion, with an adjusted common odds ratio of 1.67 (95% CI, 1.21–2.30).

Intraarterial treatment within 6 hours of stroke onset increased the rate of functional independence (mRS 0–2) at 90 days by an absolute 13.5 percentage points (32.6% vs. 19.1%) compared to usual care alone.
