<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> Declines in stroke admission, IV thrombolysis (IVT), mechanical thrombectomy volumes were reported during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic. There is a paucity data on longer-term effect pandemic over course year through second We sought to measure admissions, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), IVT, 1-year period at onset (March 1, 2020, February 28, 2021) compared with immediately preceding 2019, 29, 2020). <h3>Methods</h3> conducted longitudinal...
Stroke is one of the leading causes mortality across world. However, there a paucity information regarding rates and associated risk factors in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). In this study, we aimed to clarify these issues analyzed previous publications related treated EVT.We survival 245 consecutive mechanical for AIS which was obtained. Early defined as death occurring during hospitalization after EVT or within 7 days following...
Abstract Objective We aimed to evaluate door-to-puncture time (DPT) and door-to-recanalization (DRT) without directing healthcare by neuro-interventionalist support in the emergency department (ED) workflow optimization improving patients’ outcomes. Methods Records of 98 consecutive ischemic stroke patients who had undergone endovascular therapy (EVT) between 2018 2021 were retrospectively reviewed a single-center study. Patients divided into three groups: pre-intervention (2018–2019),...
The hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (HMCAS) is observed in a proportion of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This reflects the presence an intravascular thrombus rich red blood cells. Several studies have demonstrated that HMCAS increases risk poor outcomes AIS treated IV thrombolysis or no reperfusion therapy; however, whether predicts outcome endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) less clear. We aimed to evaluate functional by modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 90 days and technical...
Atrial fibrillation is one of the major risk factors ischemic stroke. Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has become standard treatment for acute stroke with large vessel occlusion. However, data regarding impact AF on outcome patients treated mechanical are controversial. The aim our study was to determine whether atrial modifies functional anterior circulation receiving EVT.We reviewed 273 eligible EVT from January 2019 2022 3 comprehensive Chinese centers, whom 221 were recruited....
Background and objectives Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) improves long-term outcomes decreases mortality in ischemic stroke patients. However, a significant proportion of patients do not benefit from EVT recanalization, phenomenon known as futile recanalization or reperfusion without functional independence (RFI). In this study, we aim to identify the major risk factors patient characteristics associated with RFI. Methods This is retrospective cohort study 297 consecutive who received at...
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate for possible associations between an early increase in body temperature within 24 hours endovascular therapy (EVT) large vessel occlusion stroke and the presence symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) other clinical outcomes. Methods: This a retrospective consecutive patients with who were treated EVT from August 2018 June 2021. Patients divided into two groups based on fever, as defined by Peak Body Temperature (PBT) ≥37.3 °C. sICH...
The role of bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in the treatment acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains debatable. Atrial fibrillation (AF) associated strokes may be with reduced effect from IVT. This study compares IVT AF and non-AF patients.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of characteristic ischemic stroke and outcomes during first COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.A retrospective, observational cohort a comprehensive tertiary center was conducted. Patients with were divided into pre-COVID-19 lockdown (11/1/2019 1/30/2020) (1/31/2020 4/30/2020) period groups. Patient data on admission, thrombolysis, endovascular treatment, 3-month routine follow-up recorded. Data analysis performed using SPSS according values following...
Objective Patients can be at risk of carotid artery dissection and ischemic stroke after cervical chiropractic manipulation. However, such risks are rarely reported raising awareness increase the safety manipulations. Case Report We present two middle-aged patients with leading to receiving manipulation in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China. Both had new-onset pain their necks Excess physical force during may a patients. Patient was administered recombinant tissue plasminogen activator...
Introduction: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is the standard of care for patients with large-vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke (AIS). There may be differing recanalization effectiveness based on patients’ sex, and understanding such variations can improve patient outcomes by adjusting differences. We aimed to assess sex differences in outcome after EVT AIS. Methods: retrospectively analyzed 250 consecutive AIS who underwent from July 2019 February 2022 across two large comprehensive...
The aim of this study was to identify factors that predict favorable functional outcomes in elderly patients with large-vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke (LVO-AIS) who underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT). We conducted a retrospective observational using the prospectively maintained Bigdata Observatory for Stroke China (BOSC) eligible MT LVO-AIS at four comprehensive centers between August 2019 and February 2022. Inclusion criteria included aged 80 years or older baseline modified...
Abstract Background To date, only 25 cases of cerebral infarction following a bee or wasp sting have been reported. Due to its rarity, undefined pathogenesis, and unique clinical features, we report case 62-year-old man with progressive stings, possibly related vasospasm. Furthermore, review relevant literature on stroke stings. Case presentation A retired male presented ischemic after stings the ear face. Initial magnetic resonance imaging brain showed small punctate infarcts in left...
In this study, we aimed to determine whether post-Alberta Stroke Project Early CT Changes Score (post-ASPECTS) in anterior stroke and post-(posterior circulation) PC-ASPECTS posterior on can predict post-endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) functional outcomes among patients with acute ischemic (AIS) after EVT.A total of 247 consecutive aged 18 over receiving EVT for LVO-related AIS were recruited into a prospective database. The data was retrospectively analyzed between March 2019 February 2022...
