Ongoing Acute Endovascular Stroke Trials

چکیده
With the failure of multiple recent acute stroke trials to show the benefit of endovascular treatment, there has been a lot written and spoken about next steps. In the wake of these results, many new trials have started with slightly varying principles, selection criteria, and depending on their sponsor, different devices. All these trials have tried to overcome the design limitations of the previously failed trials. However, there are certain general principles that we think we know well and essentially all ongoing trials are using these in the best way they think they can. What are these factors?

متن کاملIntra-Arterial Treatment Methods in Acute Stroke Therapy
Acute revascularization is associated with improved outcomes in ischemic stroke patients. It is unclear which method of intra-arterial intervention, if any, is ideal. Promising approaches in acute stroke treatment are likely a combination of intravenous and endovascular revascularization efforts, combining early treatment initiation with direct clot manipulation and/or PTA/stenting. In this rev...
متن کاملDawning of a new era for acute stroke therapy.
T he results of the 4 recently presented/published trials for acute ischemic stroke herald the dawn of a new era in the treatment of patients with large vessel occlusion amenable to endovascular intervention. Additional trials are underway or have been stopped earlier because of the positive results observed in the initial trials. Hopefully, the ongoing trials will largely amplify and build on ...
متن کاملThe Goldilocks Dilemma in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Despite the advent of and exciting advances in novel endovascular therapies, t-PA remains the only proven treatment for acute ischemic stroke to date. Although a variety of reasons likely underlie why past trials of endovascular strategies have been unsuccessful, we address in this perspective piece one critical unknown for which a solution is undoubtedly necessary if future ones are to meet wi...
