...: Stroke lesion volume on MRI or CT provides objective evidence of tissue injury as a consequence of ischemic stroke. Measurement of “final” lesion volume at 24-h following endovascular therapy (post-EVT) has been used in multiple studies as a surrogate for clinical outcome. However, despite successful...

...Wei Yu; Chao Xia; Bo Tao; Yuan Xiao; Ziyang Gao; Fei Zhu; Qiannan Zhao; Su Lui Background: The hyperdense lesion on non-contrast CT (NCCT) is a common postoperative phenomenon in acute ischemic stroke patients who are treated with endovascular therapy (EVT). Both contrast extravasation...

...Heng Shi; Miao-Miao Hou; Gang Ren; Ze-Fan He; Xiao-Lei Liu; Xin-Yi Li; Bo Sun Introduction: Tirofiban has been used as a rescue when thrombectomy is not successful in endovascular therapy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), but the use of tirofiban after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT...

... on MRI obtained post-endovascular therapy (EVT). The presence of residual perfusion abnormalities post-EVT may be associated with blood-brain barrier breakdown in response to mechanical disruption of the endothelium from multiple-pass thrombectomy. We hypothesize that multiple-pass versus single-pass...

Of 25 (51%) persons who underwent CT angiography (CTA), 33% (16/49) had acute LVOs. Thirty-one percent (5/16) of persons with acute LVOs underwent intra-arterial endovascular therapy. All of 5...

In this study, we tested whether endovascular therapy (ET) is superior to medical therapy in these patients. Methods...
