The field of neurology continued to evolve, especially in the area of therapeutics. Multiple class I-type of evidence emerged from intraarterial thrombectomy studies showing its undeniable, outcome-improving intervention, when combined with intravenous rt-PA compared to intravenous thrombolysis alone in 2015. This ground-breaking study result, along with other therapeutic advances in other neurological subspecialties, further transformed the field of neurology from merely admiring phenomenology to more time-sensitive interventional field. The field of neurocritical care is at the forefront of therapeutic efforts, as our daily practice focuses on resuscitating and reversing multiple organ failures.
