[Correspondence] Beyond imaging thresholds in large-core stroke thrombectomy

Amrou Sarraj and colleagues reported an important individual patient data meta-analysis regarding endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with large-core ischaemic stroke, showing improved functional outcomes and reduced mortality up to 24 h after stroke onset.1 These findings challenge the paradigm that large infarction represents a condition with high futility for reperfusion therapy.
