Large-bore mechanical thrombectomy yields better outcomes for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Findings from the first international randomized controlled trial to compare patient outcomes following treatment with large-bore mechanical thrombectomy (LBMT) versus catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) show that LBMT is superior with respect to the hierarchically-tested aggregated outcome of all-cause (..)

Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Recent Direct Oral Anticoagulant Use: A Systematic Review and Meta?Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundIntravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is an effective stroke therapy that remains underused. Outcomes included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, any intracranial hemorrhage, serious systemic bleeding, and 90‐day functional independence (modified Rankin scale score 0–2). 1.36]), any intracranial hemorrhage (17.7

Abstract 236: Effects of intravenous thrombolysis on thrombectomy outcomes: a systematic review and meta?analysis

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionEfficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is still debatable. However, IVT's efficacy on stent retriever (SR) and aspiration thrombectomy (ASP) outcomes specifically remain unclear. ResultsWe included four randomized controlled trials with 1176 patients.

Abstract WP177: Hemorrhagic Transformation in the Thrombectomy Era: Clinical Predictors, Subtypes and Symptomatic Outcomes

Stroke Journal

Definitions of symptomatic HT developed during the intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) era are outdated in the endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) era but continue to be widely used. Symptomatic hemorrhages were due to subarachnoid hemorrhage in more than half and PH-2 in only one-quarter of symptomatic hemorrhages in this EVT series.

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

Stroke Journal

BACKGROUND:The effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before endovascular treatment (EVT) has been investigated in randomized trials and meta-analyses. Primary outcome was a shift toward better functional outcome on the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days. Stroke, Ahead of Print.

Abstract 59: Contemporarypre-Stroke Antiplatelet Use and the Risk of Symptomatic Hemorrhagic Transformation After Intravenous Thrombolysis

Stroke Journal

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 The primary outcome of interest was symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) within 36 hours of tPA administration.
