Giving tPA before thrombectomy still holds in stroke

28 Apr 2021 bởi

Outcomes after stroke thrombectomy were no better with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) withheld in the MR CLEAN-NO IV trial, suggesting that the practice of giving thrombolytics still holds in stroke.

Beyond 6 hours: Late thrombectomy still beneficial in select stroke patients

15 Apr 2021 bởi

Select stroke patients who present late to the hospital — beyond 6 hours and up to 24 hours after stroke onset — still stand to benefit from endovascular thrombectomy, confirms the AURORA meta-analysis of six randomized trials presented at the ISC 2021 Meeting.

Speeding stroke care with direct angio improves functional outcome

13 Apr 2021 bởi

Getting patients with suspected large-vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke to undergo immediate angiography instead of the standard CT scan speeds up time stroke treatment and improves 90-day functional outcomes, according to the ANGIOCAT study presented at the ISC 2021 Meeting.

Tenecteplase cuts interhospital transfer times, may avoid EVT delays

30 Mar 2021 bởi

Switching from alteplase to tenecteplase led to reductions in interfacility transfer times, thus enabling earlier endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients who have had a stroke, according to data presented at ISC 2021.
