Background and Purpose— A progressive decline in the odds of favorable outcome as time to reperfusion increases is well known. However, impact specific workflow intervals not clear. Methods— We studied mechanical thrombectomy group (n=103) prospective, randomized REVASCAT (Randomized Trial Revascularization With Solitaire FR Device Versus Best Medical Therapy Treatment Acute Stroke due Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusion Presenting Within Eight Hours Symptom Onset) trial. defined 3...
Several clinical scales have been developed for predicting stroke recurrence. These scores could be extremely useful to guide triage decisions. Our goal was compare the very early predictive accuracy of most relevant [age, blood pressure, features and duration symptoms (ABCD) score, ABCD diabetes (ABCD2) brain infarction on imaging ABCD2 prior TIA within 1 week index event (ABCD3) California Risk Score, Essen Stroke Score Prognosis Instrument II] in consecutive transient ischemic attack...
<h3>SUMMARY:</h3> The rapid spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has shaken hospitals worldwide. Some authors suggest that neurologic involvement could further complicate disease. This descriptive study is a cross-sectional review 103 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who underwent neuroimaging (of total 2249 in our center). Analyzed variables were symptoms and acute imaging findings. most frequent motivated examinations mild nonfocal symptoms, code stroke (refers to...
Introduction: Randomized clinical trials have demonstrated efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) among patients presenting up to 24 hours last known well (LKW). Recent reports suggested EVT could result in better functional outcomes with acceptable risk profile even beyond LKW, but exploration the role elderly is limited. Methods: We aimed evaluate for age ≥80y a large vessel occlusion (LVO) from pooled, international cohort (17 centers across US, Spain, Australia New...
We aim to assess whether time of day modified the treatment effect in RACECAT trial (Direct Transfer an Endovascular Center Compared Closest Stroke Acute Patients With Suspected Large Vessel Occlusion Trial), a cluster-randomized that did not demonstrate benefit direct transportation thrombectomy-capable center versus nearest local stroke for patients with suspected large vessel triaged nonurban Catalonia between March 2017 and June 2020.We performed post hoc analysis evaluate if association...
The aim of this study was to describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) previously treated oral anticoagulants (OACs) according type OAC prescribed. Also, analyze outcomes therapeutic approach adopted by neurologist phase for secondary prevention.We performed a multicenter, observational based on prospective registries. We included AF OACs admitted AIS over 1-year period. Detailed data functional outcome at...
Background Among patients with stroke eligible for endovascular treatment, preprocedure identification of those low chances successful recanalization conventional devices (stent‐retrievers and/or direct aspiration) may allow anticipating procedural rescue strategies. We aimed to develop a preprocedural algorithm able predict failure (RFCD). Methods Observational study. Data from consecutive who received treatment between 2019 and 2022 in 10 centers were collected the Catalan Stroke Registry...
Los pacientes, tras un ictus o ataque isquémico transitorio, presentan riesgo muy elevado de sufrir nuevos episodios vasculares. La reducción del nivel colesterol unido a lipoproteínas baja densidad (cLDL) reduce la incidencia episodios, si bien una proporción importante pacientes no alcanza los objetivos terapéuticos recomendados con tratamientos hipolipemiantes actuales. El objetivo este documento consenso es actualizar el papel inhibidores proproteína convertasa subtilisina/kexina tipo 9...
<h3>Introduction and purpose</h3> Mechanical thrombectomy is accepted as the best treatment when possible in cases of ischemic stroke. Since indications are getting broader terms age, time stroke evolution or NIHSS ASPECTS records, we frequently face decision convenience to treat borderline patients, for example oligosymptomatic cases. We aimed review our complications frequency, age location order help us taking decisions. <h3>Material methods</h3> This study based a retrospective database....
