Background & Objective: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has been shown to be effectively treated with thrombolytic therapy. Thailand and other developing countries have limited stroke specialists to prescribe this treatment. Data regarding stroke outcomes in AIS patients who received thrombolytic therapy prescribed by neurologists compared with non-neurologists are limited. Methods: This was a larg...

Time is of essence in saving brain cells in patients with acute ischaemic stroke, the faster the treatment, the better the outcome. The time window for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) treatment is <3 hours. With the recent success of multiple bridging trials, the treatment time window has been opened up to 6–8 hours. In fact, both Therapy in the Treatment of Acute Stroke Due to A...

Response to Letter Regarding Article, “Mechanical Thrombectomy Improves Functional Outcomes Independent of Pretreatment With Intravenous Thrombolysis” We would like to thank Kamtchum-Tatuene et al for commenting on our recently published meta-analysis evaluating the potential interaction of pretreatment with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) on the association of endovascular reperfusion therapies...

We read with interest and dismay the article ‘Public health urgency created by the success of mechanical thrombectomy studies in stroke’ recently published in Circulation. There is now overwhelming, class 1, level A evidence supporting mechanical thrombectomy (MT) as the standard of care for eligible patients with acute stroke secondary to an emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO). We agree tha...

During the past 3 years, the European Stroke Organisation (ESO) has seen the launch of its annual congress, its growing attendance, and a boom in the society’s membership with currently >7000 professionals enrolled as members. Within this 3-year period, 36 National Stroke societies throughout the world have joined as associate members with the expressed intent to adhere to and promote stroke di...

This issue of the American Journal of Neuroradiology marks our 25th anniversary. The silver border on the journal’s cover and Reed Murtagh’s clever cartoon help celebrate this important milestone in our history. The AJNR has evolved from what many newly trained radiologists would now consider a “primordial neuroradiological ooze” in 1980 to the publication of the most recent advances in neuroim...

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage We applaud the efforts of Moskowitz et al to increase awareness of the risks of cumulative radiation dose in their article, “Cumulative Radiation Dose during Hospitalization for Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.” We certainly agree that it is essential to minimize radiation dose from all sources because the diagnosis and treatment of patients with subarachnoid hemorrha...
