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.

Introduction:Emergency-department-based implementation strategies to increase thrombolysis are promising. We sought to quantify the number of hospitals with opportunities to increase thrombolysis under various tPA treatment thresholds.Methods:We used data from the 2018 State Inpatient Databases (SID) from 17 states.

NETs are proposed as a mechanism of resistance to thrombolysis. Thrombolysis was remarkably associated with higher NE positivity (average marginal effect, 6.461 [95% CI, 0.7901–12.13];P=0.02555), regardless of the origin of thrombi. BACKGROUND:Thrombosis is linked to neutrophil release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).

Contemporary treatments to remove the clot include intravenous thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy using a catheter. Many stroke patients recover poorly despite timely treatment To treat these symptoms and restore blood flow to the brain, the obstructed vessel needs to be “declogged”, or recanalized.

Background and Purpose:Although intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT) is widely used as adjunct with mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke patients, the patients who are likely to benefit are not known.
