Enhancing microcirculation in STEMI patients: can intracoronary thrombolysis combined with thrombus aspiration provide an optimal strategy?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

This article explores the potential role of intracoronary thrombolysis, in conjunction with thrombus aspiration, in improving microcirculatory perfusion during PCI for STEMI patients. However, despite successful revascularization, microvascular obstruction (MVO) remains a major challenge, contributing to adverse clinical outcomes.

Abstract WP11: Efficacy and Safety Outcomes of thrombolysis for stroke in Low- and Middle-Income countries: Systematic Review and Metanalysis

Stroke Journal

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. For the meta analysis, articles that included the administration of standard dose of 0.9
