Stroke
Neurointerventionalists have responded to the recent clinical trial evidence in favor of mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic strokes caused by large-vessel occlusions by increasingly adopting this strategy, according to an informal survey. The findings were reported online April 21, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery
Mechanical thrombectomy provides better outcomes for patients with acute ischemic stroke when it is performed using stent retrievers instead of other devices, a single-center, retrospective study suggests. The findings were published online April 29, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of Neurosurgery…
Combining both proximal balloon occlusion and distal aspiration during thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke of the anterior circulation can limit the migration of thrombus fragments into new vascular territory, according to a study published online April 7, 2016, in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery…
During mechanical thrombectomy using stent retrievers, fully retracting the microcatheter out of the access catheter before thrombus retrieval can maximize aspiration, according to research published online April 15, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery…
A drop in blood pressure (BP) following cerebral artery recanalization in patients with acute ischemic stroke may be a sign of successful recanalization, according to research published online April 15, 2016, in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery…
