Abstract
Our Japanese colleagues deserve much praise for finishing the first randomized clinical trial of thrombectomy in Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score 3 to 5 patients showing an impressive therapy effect of thrombectomy. The predominant use of magnetic resonance imaging for patient selection, the low rate of alteplase therapy and its low dose limit direct comparisons with patients treated outside of Japan. Another limitation is the lack of benefit when using the traditional metric-modified Rankin Scale score 0-2. We consider the results of RESCUE-Japan LIMIT encouraging and a clear motivation to continue and complete other studies.
