Intravenous Thrombolysis Before Endovascular Treatment in Posterior Circulation Occlusions: A MR CLEAN Registry Study

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:The effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before endovascular treatment (EVT) has been investigated in randomized trials and meta-analyses. These studies mainly concerned anterior circulation occlusions. All patients with a posterior circulation occlusion were included.

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

Journal of the American Heart Association

ConclusionsIn thrombectomy‐eligible patients with anterior circulation large‐vessel occlusion, IVT improves functional outcome independent of grade of reperfusion and distal thrombus migration. We performed sensitivity analysis using propensity score matching. 0.75];P=0.001). to 0.01];P=0.05).ConclusionsIn

Abstract 225: Rescue Stenting for Posterior Circulation Strokes

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. IntroductionIntracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is associated with up to 32% of posterior circulation strokes.1 1 ICAD‐related strokes are at high risk for re‐occlusion following MT.

Parabiosis Discriminates the Circulating, Endothelial, and Parenchymal Contributions of Endogenous Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator to Stroke

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Intravenous injection of alteplase, a recombinant tPA (tissue-type plasminogen activator) as a thrombolytic agent has revolutionized ischemic stroke management. However, when associated to tPAWTlittermates, tPANullmice had similar perfusion deficits, but less severe brain infarcts.

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. Background:Circulating interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations are elevated in acute stroke but the timing of the IL-6 response in humans is unknown. We used a mobile stroke unit (MSU) to identify IL-6 levels within minutes of symptom onset. pg/mL, respectively.
