Determining the Number of Ischemic Strokes Potentially Eligible for Endovascular Thrombectomy: A Population-Based Study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular thrombectomy (ET) is standard-of-care for ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion, but estimates of potentially eligible patients from population-based studies have not been published. Such data are urgently needed to rationally plan hyperacute services. Retrospective analysis determined the incidence of ET-eligible ischemic strokes in a comprehe...

This is the question many of us have faced in the course of the past few months because multiple new trials of endo-vascular stroke therapy have been launched on the...
متن کاملEndovascular thrombectomy for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.
UNLABELLED Few patients benefit from the current standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), encouraging the development of new treatments. OBJECTIVE To systematically review the literature on the efficacy and/or safety of endovascular thrombectomy in AIS compared to standard treatment and to identify ongoing randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHOD Searches for RCTs were perform...
متن کاملMechanical Thrombectomy for Ischaemic Stroke: The First UK Case Series
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular treatments have the potential to accelerate reperfusion in acute ischaemic stroke with large vessel occlusion. In the UK only a few stroke centres offer this interventional option. The University Hospital of North Staffordshire (UHNS) has treated the largest number of cases in the UK. Results of the first 106 endovascular treatments (EVT) are presented here. ...
