Abstract WP13: Determining Eligible Thrombolysis Candidates for Isolated Dizziness

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Strokes affecting the posterior circulation (PCS) account for 20% of all ischemic strokes. Recent studies indicate that PCS are half as likely to receive thrombolytic therapy and threefold less likely to receive intervention with mechanical thrombectomy compared to anterior circulation strokes (ACS). in 2021, 37.5

Abstract 85: One-year Outcomes After Endovascular Treatment for Posterior Circulation Tandem Occlusions: A Multicenter Experience of 249 Patients

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A85-A85, February 1, 2024. Intravenous thrombolysis was administered in 55 patients (22.1%) while general anesthesia was used in 94/248 patients (37.9%). Conclusion:EVT seems to be a safe and effective approach for posterior circulation tandem occlusions.

Abstract WP354: Neuroinflammatory Factor Response in Acute Ischemic Stroke Correlates with Lesion Volume and Stroke Severity: Circulating Blood from a Mobile Stroke Unit and during Hospitalization

Stroke Journal

Variables included demographics and NIHSS.Results:Seventy-one adults were analyzed, including 46 patients treated on the MSU between August 2021 and May 2024, and 25 controls. Twenty-three (88%) patients received IV thrombolysis and 7 (27%) had mechanical thrombectomy. Twenty-six (57%) MSU patients were confirmed ischemic stroke (AIS).

Abstract WP179: Clinical Outcomes in Acute Stroke in Patients Undergoing Emergency Intracranial Stenting Receiving IV Thrombolysis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP179-AWP179, February 1, 2024. Clinical outcomes were assessed using uni- and multivariable logistic regression models.Results:A total of 216 patients were included, with target vessels located within the anterior circulation (133; 63.4%) and posterior circulation (79; 36.6%).

Abstract 106: Circulating Interleukin-6 Levels Early During Active Stroke Estimate Time of Stroke Onset: Potential New Clinical Biomarker Tool From a Mobile Stroke Unit

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A106-A106, February 1, 2024. Nineteen (68%) MSU patients were diagnosed as stroke, with 17 (61%) confirmed and 2 likely TIA or stroke averted by thrombolysis; 9 were stroke mimics. Median initial NIHSS score was 7 (range 1-22) and 12 (71%) received intravenous thrombolysis with tPA or TNK.

Abstract TP133: Clot Burden Score Correlates Best With Hypoperfusion Volume and Predicts Final Infarct ASPECTS<=3 in Anterior Circulation Ischemic Strokes

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP133-ATP133, February 1, 2024. Purpose:Clot Burden Score (CBS) is a semiquantitative measure of thrombus extent on CTA for proximal anterior circulation strokes whose relationship with perfusion metrics has not been fully explored.
