• To the Editor: In the Mechanical Retrieval and Recanalization of Stroke Clots Using Embolectomy (MR RESCUE) trial, reported by Kidwell et al. (March 7 issue), 1 22 participating centers enrolled 118 patients during the period from 2004 through 2011. Thus, on average, each participating center enrolled 1 patient every 16 months. This extremely low rate may suggest that inclusion in the trial was selective and not representative of patients with stroke in general. This notion is supported by the poor outcomes reported for both forms of treatment in the study. A good clinical outcome, defined as a 90-day score of 2 . . .
