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). In univariable regression, all outcomes were comparable between the two groups, except for higher mRS 0-2 rates in the MT+IVtPA group.

Abstract TMP13: Prehospital Stroke Scales Are Non-Inferior to NIHSS in Prediction of Intravenous Thrombolysis Use in a Large Telestroke Network

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Recent studies report similar outcomes with antiplatelet drugs and intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients with minor nondisabling ischemic stroke. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP13-ATMP13, February 1, 2024. Patients were excluded if they were on anticoagulation, presented beyond 4.5

Abstract WP70: Accelerating Stroke Care at an Academic Hospital: Evaluating the Impact of a Launchpad Initiative on Door-to-Needle Times One Year Later

Stroke Journal

Background:Every minute is crucial in treating acute ischemic stroke (AIS), as the effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular therapy is highly time-dependent. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP70-AWP70, February 1, 2025.

Impact of Time to Catheter-Based Therapy on Outcomes in Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to examine the impact of early versus delayed catheter-based therapies (CBTs) on clinical outcomes in patients with acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE).METHODS:This Secondary outcomes included a composite of 30-day mortality, resuscitated cardiac arrest, and hemodynamic instability.

The pseudo-superiority of pPCI is exposed one more time … but it will thrive!

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

It is a sad academic story ,most of the interventional cardiology community shrugged it off as a non-event. In this context, we need a movement to revive the pre-hospital thrombolysis. No one knows how the pPCI related delay was legally ratified and academically accepted by the elite cardiology forums.

Abstract DP5: TNK is Non-Inferior to tPA in Patients Planned to Undergo Endovascular Thrombectomy in Real-World Practice

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Outcomes after thrombolysis with alteplase (tPA) versus tenecteplase (TNK) prior to endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) have not been directly compared in real-world data (RWD). tPA was used exclusively for thrombolysis at one center (n=74), while TNK was used exclusively for thrombolysis at another center (n=130).
