TL;DR: The ADAPT technique is a fast, safe, simple, and effective method that has facilitated the approach to acute ischemic stroke thrombectomy by utilizing the latest generation of large bore aspiration catheters to achieve previously unparalleled angiographic outcomes.

TL;DR: The ADAPT technique is a simple and effective approach to acute ischemic stroke thrombectomy and Utilizing the latest generation of large bore aspiration catheters in this fashion has allowed us to achieve excellent clinical and angiographic outcomes.

TL;DR: It is possible that an alternate method of thrombectomy, primary aspiration, will benefit selected patients harboring large vessel ischemic stroke, and THERAPY did not achieve its primary end point in this underpowered sample.

TL;DR: Treatment of wide necked small/medium aneurysms with the PED results in high rates of complete occlusion without significant parent vessel stenosis and low rates of permanent neurologic complications.

TL;DR: An operational definition of the clinical scenario in which a stroke patient has an urgent need for endovascular thrombectomy becomes increasingly important and a standardized nomenclature that uses consistently defined terms will facilitate continuous quality improvement as the field grows and understanding is advanced.
