... in stroke patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO), is routinely performed to date. However, more than 35% of BAO patients treated with MET die within 90 days despite high recanalization rates. The purpose of this study is to investigate the parameters associated with 90-day mortality in patients...

...Verena van Ginneken; Daniel Gierhake; Heinrich J. Audebert; Jochen B. Fiebach Background: Early recanalization in ischemic stroke is associated with favorable outcome. However, limited data are available on the effect of recanalization on infarct growth and functional outcome in stroke with distal...

Methods: Relevant full-text articles published in English since January 1, 2000, reporting associations between collateral status and successful reperfusion and/or recanalization in acute...

Prior studies of stroke patients with transient symptoms have not found any predilection for DWI lesions in any specific territory. Other studies have, however, reported an association...

..., complete early recanalization, early dramatic neurological improvement and final infarct volume. Results: During the study period, 159 patients fulfilled the above criteria. The mean age was 68 years, 62% were men and the baseline NIHSS score was 17. Patients with high levels of prestroke PhA were younger...

... to intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV-rtPA) and have higher density on non-contrast CT (NCCT). We investigated the relationship between thrombus density and recanalization and whether persistent occlusions can be predicted by Hounsfield unit (HU) measurements. Methods...

... of patients do not receive any benefit as a result of early recanalization failure. We aimed to investigate the factors associated with early recanalization failure following intravenous rt-PA therapy.

Methods: Nineteen hyperacute ischemic stroke patients who had acute large artery occlusion and underwent post-recanalization SWI were enrolled in this study. The patients had ICA (internal carotid artery, 2 cases), M1...
