Clinical Improvement, No Improvement, and Worsening at 24 Hours Following Reperfusion in Patients With Stroke due to Large-Vessel Occlusion

BACKGROUND: Restoring blood flow to ischemic tissue is the cornerstone of acute stroke therapy and is usually beneficial. However, when reperfusion is achieved for severely injured tissue, it is often futile and may occasionally cause harm. We aim to determine the prevalence and...

Intraarterial Thrombolysis: Past, Present, Future

Suboptimal clinical outcomes are common after ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion despite current reperfusion treatment with intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy. Targeting residual distal arterial and microvascular occlusions with intraarterial thrombolys...
