08/01/2015 - "In preliminary trials, SOLITAIRE with the Intention for Thrombectomy (SWIFT) and Thrombectomy Revascularization of Large Vessel Occlusions (TREVO), both showed rates of recanalisation close to 90% and significantly improved clinical outcomes compared with the MERCI study, but the recent landmark studies for endovascular treatment (Interventional Management of Stroke (IMS III), Mechanical Retrieval and Recanalisation of Stroke Clots Using Embolectomy (MR-RESCUE) and SYNTHESIS) did not show any clinical benefit from endovascular treatment compared with standard intravenous therapy.
