Endovascular treatment for ischemic strokes with large vessel occlusion: proven therapy and bright future.
I ntravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) has been the mainstay and only therapy with proven clinical benefit in patients with acute ischemic stroke for the nearly 20 years. 1 Patients harboring a large vessel occlusions (LVOs) seemed to be recalcitrant to intravenous thrombolysis that portended a poor neurological recovery. 2 Catheter-based treatments offered a promise of higher rec...
متن کاملPittsburgh Response to Endovascular therapy (PRE) score: optimizing patient selection for endovascular therapy for large vessel occlusion strokes.
BACKGROUND Endovascular therapy seems to benefit a subset of patients with large vessel occlusion strokes. We aimed to develop a clinically useful tool to identify patients who are likely to benefit from endovascular therapy. METHODS In a derivation cohort of consecutively treated patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (Grady Memorial Hospital, N=247), independent predictor...
متن کاملOrthostatic transient ischemic attacks: a symptom of large vessel occlusion.
Orthostatic transient ischemic attacks (TIA) are very much rarer than orthostatic generalized cerebral ischemia (syncope). A case is described and previous reports reviewed. Orthostatic TIA appears to occur only with large vessel occlusion. In these patients, collateral blood supply is marginal and unable to support normal postural autoregulation.
متن کاملEndovascular Treatment of Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusion in the Elderly
Endovascular treatment of anterior circulation large vessel occlusion in the elderly population presents special challenges and opportunities. In this review, we discuss the published literature regarding thrombectomy in elderly patients and also discuss specific issues related to treatment in this patient population. In summary, while the overall outcomes following thrombectomy in elderly pati...
متن کاملNew Cerebral Microbleeds After Mechanical Thrombectomy for Large-Vessel Occlusion Strokes
The interval appearance of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) after endovascular treatment has never been described. We investigated the frequency and predictors of new CMBs that developed shortly after mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke, and its impact on clinical outcome.We retrospectively analyzed patients with large-vessel occlusion strokes treated with Merci Retriever, Penumbra Sys...
