Assessment of ischemic stroke lesions on computed tomography (CT) or MRI using the
Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) is widely used to guide acute stroke …

Objective To summarize the current literature regarding the initial hospital management of
patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) secondary to emergent large vessel occlusion …

Background In patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by a proximal intracranial arterial
occlusion, intraarterial treatment is highly effective for emergency revascularization …

Background and Purpose—Successful reperfusion can be achieved in more than two-thirds
of patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy. Therefore, it is important to understand …

Background: Earlier tissue plasminogen activator treatment improves ischemic stroke
outcome, but aspects of the time-benefit relationship still not well delineated are:(1) the …

Background Current guidelines suggest treating blood pressure above 180/105 mm Hg
during the first 24 hours in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing any form of …

Background and Purpose—A progressive decline in the odds of favorable outcome as time
to reperfusion increases is well known. However, the impact of specific workflow intervals is …

Background and Purpose—In the setting of acute ischemic stroke because of large-vessel
occlusion (LVO) there is progressive loss of brain tissue which occurs in a time-dependent …

Importance Treatment with remote ischemic perconditioning has been reported to reduce
brain infarction volume in animal models of stroke. Whether this neuroprotective effect was …

Importance The positive treatment effect of endovascular therapy (EVT) is assumed to be
caused by the preservation of brain tissue. It remains unclear to what extent the treatment …
