Standard microcatheter recanalization data points at 60 and 120 minutes are also depicted. IMS I data are incomplete at 60 minutes, with 23 confirmed control arteriograms. Sixty- and 120-minute IMS I data points closely approximate the line of IMS II microcatheter recanalization. The open circle emphasizes an early equivalence of standard microcatheter to the sonography (US) microcatheter. The greatest recanalization effect (>20%) is within the first 15 minutes of microcatheter placement. American Journal of Neuroradiology 29:582-587, March 2008 5

The statistical comparison of the outcomes was performed with the Mantel-Haenszel test using all seven categories of the modified Rankin Scale (mrs). The p value is 0.005 for the Target Mismatch group (more favorable outcomes with early reperfusion) and 0.04 for the No Mismatch group (less favorable outcomes with early reperfusion). The mrs score 0-1 indicates no disability, 2-3 slight to moderate disability, 4-5 severe disability, and a score of 6 indicates death.

Original Article Randomized Assessment of Rapid Endovascular Treatment of Ischemic Stroke (ESCAPE) the ESCAPE Trial Investigators In this randomized trial involving patients who had moderate-to-severe acute ischemic stroke with proximal vessel occlusion and a small infarct core, endovascular treatment improved functional outcomes. Randomly assigned participants to receive standard care (control group) or standard care plus endovascular treatment with the use of available thrombectomy devices (intervention group) Patients with a proximal intracranial occlusion in the anterior circulation were included up to 12 hours after symptom onset. Patients with a large infarct core or poor collateral circulation on computed tomography (CT) and CT angiography were excluded N Engl J Med Volume 372(11):1019-1030 March 12, 2015 13
