... was to document our experience with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for ischemic stroke in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a prospectively maintained database of patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion at our institution. We...

... scale for risk stratification of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients receiving intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). We aimed to externally validate and evaluate the predictive ability of the HAT score in patients with proximal arterial occlusions (PAO) enrolled into randomized clinical...

...Bong-Su Kang; Hyung-Min Kwon; Wi-Sun Ryu; Yong-Seok Lee Background: The annual risk of stroke or cardiovascular events has been reported to be over 10% in middle cerebral artery stenosis. However, the prognosis of patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) remains unclear. We...

...Yi-Chun Chen; Sien-Tsong Chen; Chi-Jen Chen; Tsong-Hai Lee Background: Assess the accuracy of transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS) for detecting middle cerebral artery (MCA) stem occlusion and compare it with cerebral angiography. Methods: This study enrolled a series of patients who received...

...B. Schaller; R. Graf Cerebral venous occlusion represents an often underdiagnosed cause for acute or slowly progressive neurological deterioration. The underlying pathophysiological basis is not well understood, but is different from those of arterial occlusion reflecting therefore different...

... carotid artery (ICA) tight stenosis or occlusion ipsilateral to the lesion was present in 14 patients (70%) with a posterior BZ infarct, in 72% of those with an anterior BZ infarct, in 80% of those with a subcortical BZ infarct and in 80% of those with bilateral BZ infarcts. TCD showed cross-filling...

...Catharina J.M. Klijn; L. Jaap Kappelle; Ale Algra; Jan van Gijn Objectives: We performed a systematic review of the literature to assess the impact of potential risk factors of recurrent stroke other than a compromised cerebral blood flow in patients with carotid occlusion or intracranial arterial...
