Futile recanalization in mechanical embolectomy trials: a call to improve selection of patients for revascularization.
See related article, pages 953–960. It is well known that clot burden is likely a major determinant of vessel recanalization rates with the volume of thrombus to be dissolved by fibrinolytic agents much larger in the intracranial carotid artery than in the middle cerebral artery. So, the more distal the occlusion is located, the higher the likelihood of recanalization. This statement seems to b...
متن کاملIs mechanical embolectomy performed in nonanesthetized patients effective?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In centers performing endovascular treatment for patients with AIS, there is variability in placing patients under general anesthesia. Nonanesthetized patients might move during the procedure leading to complications and prolonging the time to revascularization due to lack of cooperation. However, general anesthesia can lead to a delay of the procedure, an inability to as...
متن کاملCombined Multimodal Computed Tomography Score Correlates With Futile Recanalization After Thrombectomy in Patients With Acute Stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Futile recanalization after acute ischemic stroke occurs in almost half of the patients despite optimal angiographic results. Multimodal neuroimaging may help to improve patient's selection but is still dismissed by many interventionalists. Our aim was to evaluate the accuracy of each parameter of multimodal computed tomography (CT) and their combination for predicting fu...
متن کاملCombined Multimodal Computed Tomography Score Correlates With Futile Recanalization After Thrombectomy in Patients With Acute Stroke
Recanalization is strongly associated with improved functional outcomes and reduced mortality in patients with acute stroke, but reopening of large arteries may not achieve effective tissue reperfusion, may occur too late, or even may exacerbate tissue injury by reperfusion phenomenon. The so-called futile recanalization concept refers to those patients who present poor clinical outcomes despit...
متن کاملIs prolonged mechanical ventilation of cancer patients futile?
The issue of limiting life-sustaining treatments for intensive care unit (ICU) patients is complex. The ethical principles applied by ICU staff when making treatment-limitation decisions must comply with the law of their country. Until 2011, the law in Taiwan prohibited the withdrawal of mechanical ventilation. Consequently, patients with severe underlying diseases could receive prolonged mecha...
