Endovascular therapy after intravenous t-PA versus t-PA alone for stroke.
BACKGROUND Endovascular therapy is increasingly used after the administration of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) for patients with moderate-to-severe acute ischemic stroke, but whether a combined approach is more effective than intravenous t-PA alone is uncertain. METHODS We randomly assigned eligible patients who had received intravenous t-PA within 3 hours after symptom onse...
متن کاملStent-retriever thrombectomy after intravenous t-PA vs. t-PA alone in stroke.
BACKGROUND Among patients with acute ischemic stroke due to occlusions in the proximal anterior intracranial circulation, less than 40% regain functional independence when treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) alone. Thrombectomy with the use of a stent retriever, in addition to intravenous t-PA, increases reperfusion rates and may improve long-term functional outcome. ...
متن کاملMyocardial infarction following t-PA for acute stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Complications of intravenous (IV) thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) for acute stroke are commonly related to hemorrhage, anaphylaxis, or arterial re-occlusion. Embolic complications of t-PA are beginning to be recognized with increased use of t-PA for acute ischemic stroke. We hypothesize that disruption of intra-cardiac thrombus may result in myocardi...

Moreover, its response to traditional modalities of treatment continues to confound surgeons as well as medical and radiation oncologists. This issue of Sarcoma sees the incorporation of work related to a num...
