Abstract WP288: Epidemiological Analysis of Incidence, Treatment, Mortality and Costs of Cerebrovascular Diseases in Brazil Between 2017 and 2022

Stroke Journal

Results:Between 2017 and 2022, 1,283,435 CVD cases were notified (SAH=4,7%; ICH= 8.8%; and ischemic stroke=86.5%). Rates of Thrombolysis were alarming, but with an increasing tendency: 22969 were performed, from 1.6% in 2017 to 2.3% in 2017 to 2.3% in 2017 to R$ 537,511,793.62 were Male and 47.6% were Female.

Abstract DP4: When Does Clinical Worsening Begin in Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage after Intravenous Thrombolysis?

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase (tPA) or tenecteplase (TNK) is a first-line treatment for acute ischemic stroke. We reviewed stroke databases from 2017 to 2024 for patients who received IV thrombolysis with either tPA or TNK and developed sICH within 36 hours of treatment.

Abstract WMP5: Intravenous Thrombolysis Before Thrombectomy Improves Functional Outcome After Stroke Independent of Reperfusion Grade

Stroke Journal

Background:We studied the effect of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before thrombectomy for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (acLVO) on functional outcome and scrutinized its dependence on grade of reperfusion and distal thrombus migration.Methods:We included consecutive acLVO patients from our prospective registry of thrombectomy-eligible (..)

Abstract WP202: Thrombectomy versus Combined Thrombolysis and Thrombectomy for Primary Medium and Distal Intracranial Occlusions: A Propensity-Score Matched Multicenter Analysis

Stroke Journal

The role of adjunctive intravenous thrombolysis, such as intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IVtPA), with MT remains unclear, especially for medium vessel occlusion (MeVO). Background:Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has demonstrated superiority over medical therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO).

Abstract TP87: Validation of Prognostic Scales for Functional Outcome in Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated with Intravenous Thrombolysis in a Rural Setting: a preliminary data analysis

Stroke Journal

This study addresses this gap in the literature by evaluating the effectiveness of those prognostic tools in stroke patients treated in a rural area of the Midwest.Methods:We conducted a retrospective study of stroke patients treated with thrombolytics at Southern Illinois Healthcare Stroke Network from July 2017 to June 2024.

Linear regression identified prepercutaneous coronary intervention Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow (=3.35,P<0.001) CONCLUSIONS:EGE-derived MSI was associated with prepercutaneous coronary intervention Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow and microvascular injuries.
