    Time from groin puncture to maximal revascularization after a front-line Solitaire stent retriever approach compared with ADAPT. P value for the comparison in time from groin puncture to maximal recanalization is reported (Mann-Whitney U test). Bars indicate the medians with interquartile range values, which were 50 minutes (range, 25–80 minutes) in the Solitaire group and 45 minutes (27–70 minutes) in the ADAPT group.
