Trial of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Large Ischemic Strokes (SELECT2) — New England Journal of Medicine (2023) [NEJM]
This landmark multicenter randomized trial demonstrated that endovascular thrombectomy significantly improved outcomes for patients with large ischemic strokes, expanding treatment eligibility to a population previously considered untreatable.
