Findings from MOST Trial Presented at ISC24: Blood thinners added to clot-busting medication did not improve stroke outcomes

DAIC

Findings from the highly-anticipated MOST (Multi-Arm Optimization of Stroke Thrombolysis) trial were presented on the first day of the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference, ISC 2024, being held through Feb. The study was looking for improvement in functional outcomes at 90 days.

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). The rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (3.4

Abstract WMP118: Thrombin generation is associated with outcome in patients with stroke treated with thrombolysis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP118-AWMP118, February 1, 2025. Background and Purpose:Thrombolysis can improve outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Properties of the formed thrombus may influence thrombolysis efficiency and impede recanalization success.

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

Journal of the American Heart Association

In our study population of 1000 thrombectomy‐eligible patients (513 women; median age, 77 years [interquartile range, 67–84]), IVT emerged as a predictor of favorable functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score, 0–2) independent of modified mTICI score (adjusted odds ratio, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.32–0.75];P=0.001). 0.75];P=0.001).

IV Thrombolysis + Thrombectomy vs. Thrombectomy Alone for Acute Ischemic Stroke

American College of Cardiology

What is the association of treatment with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) plus thrombectomy versus thrombectomy alone and outcomes modification by the time from stroke symptom onset to treatment?
