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 TP195: Impact of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease on Thrombectomy Outcomes in Acute Cerebral Infarction With Large Vessel Occlusion

Stroke Journal

However, clinical outcomes remain similar. This study compares post-thrombectomy outcomes in both groups, matched by initial NIHSS scores.Method:From October 2017 to March 2023, we studied LVO cases undergoing thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke. Successful recanalization was defined as Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia score ≥2b.

Abstract TP193: Impact of Number of Passes on Outcomes of Mechanical Thrombectomy in Stroke Patients With Low ASPECTS

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Real-world data showed that less than half of the acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) presenting with low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) (2-5) achieved favorable outcomes at 90 days after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). was related to 90-day mRS 0-3.

Abstract WP205: Development and Validation of a Prediction Model for Outcome in Mechanical Thrombectomy for Large-Vessel Occlusion Anterior Circulation Stroke With Low ASPECTS

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Recent randomized control trials suggested that mechanical thrombectomy (MT) was associated with good functional outcomes after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) in patients presenting with low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) (defined as ASPECTS 2-5). with a score of 2, 17.7%

Priorities for Advancements in Neuroimaging in the Diagnostic Workup of Acute Stroke

Stroke Journal

A combined effort from academic investigators, industry, and regulators is needed to improve imaging technologies and, ultimately, patient outcomes. Imaging in acute ischemic stroke treatment has advanced significantly, but important challenges remain that need to be addressed.

Abstract WP192: Impact of Second Line Thrombectomy Technique Following Failed First Pass Thrombectomy for Anterior Circulation Stroke: To Switch or Not to Switch?

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Despite comparable outcomes for different frontline techniques in mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), there are sparse data regarding if and when to switch techniques if the first pass is unsuccessful. 3.86, P = 0.002) and 90-day good clinical outcome (adjusted odds ratio 2.10, 95% CI: 1.15-3.85,

Rivaroxaban Plus Aspirin Versus Aspirin Alone After Endovascular Revascularization for Symptomatic PAD: Insights From VOYAGER PAD

Circulation

BACKGROUND:Rivaroxaban plus aspirin compared with aspirin alone reduced major cardiac and ischemic limb events after lower extremity revascularization (LER) in the VOYAGER PAD (Vascular Outcomes Study of ASA Along With Rivaroxaban in Endovascular or Surgical Limb Revascularization for Peripheral Artery Disease) trial. at 6 months and 2.0%
