Sonothrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke.
BACKGROUND Sonothrombolysis is a promising but unproven tool for treating acute ischaemic stroke. There is an ongoing debate about the efficacy, safety, technical aspects of ultrasound administration and the possible potentiating effect of microbubbles. OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness and safety of sonothrombolysis in patients with acute ischaemic stroke. SEARCH METHODS We searched t...
متن کاملInertial cavitation detection during in-vitro sonothrombolysis
Background Being cardiovascular diseases the leading cause of death worldwide, a prompt intervention is needed to restore blood flow. Sonothrombolysis with/without addiction of thrombolytic drugs is explored as a promising solution, thanks to its non-invasiveness, precision and action quickness. Even if the involved mechanisms are not completely understood, acoustic cavitation seems to play a s...
متن کاملSimulation of intracranial acoustic fields in clinical trials of sonothrombolysis.
Two clinical trials have used ultrasound to improve tPA thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The Combined Lysis of Thrombus in Brain Ischemia Using Transcranial Ultrasound and Systemic tPA (CLOTBUST) trial reported accelerated recanalisation of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in patients with symptoms of MCA infarction, which were monitored with 2-MHz transcranial Doppler. In C...
متن کاملA pragmatic approach to sonothrombolysis in acute ischaemic stroke: the Norwegian randomised controlled sonothrombolysis in acute stroke study (NOR-SASS)
BACKGROUND Ultrasound accelerates thrombolysis with tPA (sonothrombolysis). Ultrasound in the absence of tPA also accelerates clot break-up (sonolysis). Adding intravenous gaseous microbubbles may potentiate the effect of ultrasound in both sonothrombolysis and sonolysis. The Norwegian Sonothrombolysis in Acute Stroke Study aims in a pragmatic approach to assess the effect and safety of contras...
متن کاملMinimally invasive evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage using sonothrombolysis.
OBJECT Catheter-based evacuation is a novel surgical approach for the treatment of brain hemorrhage. The object of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound in combination with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) delivered through a microcatheter directly into spontaneous intraventricular (IVH) or intracerebral (ICH) hemorrhage in humans. METHODS Thirty-thr...
