Introduction Recently, the benefit of selecting patients for endovascular treatment (EVT) beyond 6-hour time window using a tissue-based approach was demonstrated in two randomized trials. The optimal imaging protocol is under debate, and it still unknown if simpler faster may adequately select with wake-up stroke (WUS) late-presenting (LPS) EVT. Objective To compare outcomes submitted to EVT presenting within 6 hours symptom onset or 6–24 after last seen well, selected non-contrast computed...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Several reports refer to differences in stroke between females and males, namely incidence clinical outcome, but also response treatments. Driven by a recent analysis of the MR CLEAN trial, which showed higher benefit from acute endovascular treatment (EVT) we intended determine if outcomes after EVT differ sexes, <i>real-world</i> setting. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We analyzed 145 consecutive patients...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a potential complication of cardiovascular disorders and associated with worse outcome. The aim this study was to assess the incidence early AKI after endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke, identify predictors complication, test association between mortality or death dependency.
ABSTRACT: Background: Cognitive changes that result from cerebrovascular disease contribute to a poor functional outcome with reduced quality of life. Among patients undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT), we aim assess cognitive function and evaluate the impact reperfusion time in performance. Methods: Patients acute right anterior circulation strokes underwent EVT between January 2018 August 2020 at Centro Hospitalar de Vila Nova Gaia/Espinho, participated study. Modified treatment cerebral...
Introduction: It is well established that in the long-term, many stroke patients potentially have relevant functional incapacity related to deficits domains other than motor; burden of unmet long-term needs likely varies between different types or healthcare systems. On hand, we can say ideal length follow-up a specialized consultation after ischemic has not been established. Methods: We evaluated who underwent endovascular treatment anterior circulation our center and were classified as...
