“…Another striking difference of the ATTENTION and the BAOCHE from BASICS was the rate of IVT administration as compared with BASICS (32 and 19% versus 79%). As the NIHSS does not fully reflect neurological deficits in the posterior circulation, patient selection of BAO for EVT could also be guided by MRI-DWI parameters [56].…”

Purpose of reviewEndovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is the most beneficial reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke. Currently, much effort is done to promote trials examining EVT efficacy and safety in various conditions not included in the main randomized controlled trials established the superiority of EVT. This review summarizes the current advances of EVT patients selection and periprocedural management. Recent findingsRecent evidence points to beneficial effect of EVT among patients with relatively large ischemic core, premorbid independent nonagenarians and basilar artery occlusion, and suggest that intravenous thrombolysis bridging treatment is associated with better reperfusion rates. Ongoing trials currently examine EVT efficacy and safety in distal vessel occlusions and in large vessel occlusion with low NIHSS. Current evidence also support use of general anaesthesia and avoid postprocedural extremely low or high blood pressure as well as haemodynamic instability.
