Dan Addison | UVA Communications milla1cf Tue, 05/14/2024 - 12:57 May 14, 2024 — An ambitious, nationwide clinical trial led by UVA Health ’s Karen Johnston , MD, has provided doctors with long-needed insights into the importance of managing stroke patients’ blood sugar after treatment with clot-busting therapy.
Introduction:Intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase (tPA) or tenecteplase (TNK) is a first-line treatment for acute ischemic stroke. The most serious risk associated with IV thrombolytics is symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). sICH was defined as a hemorrhage that caused an increase in NIHSS by 4 or more points.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP20-AWP20, February 1, 2024. Secondary endpoint included the radiographic pattern of hemorrhagic conversion according to the Heidelberg bleeding classification (HBC).Results:Median Results:Median age was 62.94 for alteplase and 64.45
The safety of the treatment was evaluated based on the occurrence of any complications, the occurrence of intracerebral hemorrhage, and the occurrence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (assessed according to SITS-MOST criteria).Results:44 The incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage was 9.1% men, average age 71.512.2
One of the considered and currently increasingly preferred options is intravenous thrombolysis. Safety was assessed based on the symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage.Results:In the years 2016-2024, 32 patients (age 67.5 Overall, intracerebral hemorrhage occurred in 6.3%. years, 46.9% However, none of them were symptomatic.

Background:Previous study found that compared with thrombolysis, antiplatelet did not improve outcomes but reduce the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage(sICH) for mild acute ischemic stroke(AIS) defined as National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score 0 to 5. to 1.35]; mRS 0-2, odds ratio, 1.06 [95% CI, 0.73
Introduction:Stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, with thrombolysis as a critical treatment. Studies aiming to assess the outcomes of thrombolysis after ischemic stroke in LMIC were selected. Seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included and analyzed independently.
hour window, and reperfusion through thrombolysis has been shown to enhance functional outcomes in patients with salvageable brain tissue beyond this timeframe.Objective:The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of thrombolysis administered more than 4.5 These modalities can identify viable brain tissue beyond the 4.5-hour
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A59-A59, February 1, 2024. We evaluated the risk of hemorrhage associated with newer, more potent antiplatelet medications and dual antiplatelet regimens among patients treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA).Methods:Using
Findings from the highly-anticipated MOST (Multi-Arm Optimization of Stroke Thrombolysis) trial were presented on the first day of the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference, ISC 2024, being held through Feb. 9 Phoenix, AZ. Adeoye, M.D.,
The effectiveness and safety of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for acute ischemic stroke in these cases, particularly those involving large vessel occlusions, are debated. We searched MEDLINE (OVID), EMBASE, web of Science, and SCOPUS from inception to 03/03/2024. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP9-AWP9, February 1, 2025.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP177-AWP177, February 1, 2024. Definitions of symptomatic HT developed during the intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) era are outdated in the endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) era but continue to be widely used. Background:Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is the principal adverse event of thrombectomy.
Background and Aims:Previous studies indicated the usual dose heparin(5000 IU bolus followed by 500~1250 IU/h) during mechanical thrombectomy(MT) is associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic conversion without beneficial effect. This trend also seemed to be seen in patients who did not undergo intravenous thrombolysis group.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP202-AWP202, February 1, 2024. The role of adjunctive intravenous thrombolysis, such as intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IVtPA), with MT remains unclear, especially for medium vessel occlusion (MeVO).
Background:Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) is the most dreaded complication after reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke. Concomitant use of intravenous thrombolysis and the use of MT in the extended therapeutic window do not raise the risk of sICH. 2.07; P = 0.037).
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP78-AWMP78, February 1, 2024. Recent landmark trials BEST-MSU and B_PROUD have proven that MSUs facilitate quicker thrombolysis times and improved functional outcomes at 90 days when compared to conventional emergency medical services (EMS) for acute ischemic stroke patients.
Direct-to-angiography workflow relies on CBCT to exclude intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) to determine treatment eligibility for intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and/or mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Systematic searches were last performed on April 1, 2024 in EMBASE, PubMed, Web-of-Science, Scopus, and CINAHL databases.
Introduction:Current guidelines recommend 24-hours of high-intensity monitoring (HIM) for acute ischemic stroke patients post-intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) due to risk of bleeding complications including symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH).
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP8-AWP8, February 1, 2024.
