• In a follow-up of a trial comparing endovascular thrombectomy with conventional therapy for acute ischemic stroke, the beneficial effect on functional recovery that was observed at 90 days was maintained at 2 years. Quality of life was better at 2 years with endovascular treatment. We reported previously the 90-day outcomes of a trial (Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands [MR CLEAN]) in which standard treatment was compared with endovascular treatment, administered within 6 hours after the onset of acute ischemic stroke caused by an intracranial arterial occlusion of the anterior circulation. 1 Most patients in the intervention group were treated by mechanical thrombectomy with the use of retrievable stents. The trial showed that functional recovery at 90 days was better with the intervention than with standard treatment. Subsequently, the beneficial effect of mechanical thrombectomy on 90-day outcomes . . .
