Background The prehospital phase is critical in ensuring that stroke treatment is delivered
quickly and is a major source of time delay. This study sought to identify and examine …

Background Due to the time-sensitive effect of endovascular treatment, rapid prehospital
identification of large-vessel occlusion in individuals with suspected stroke is essential to …

Background: Large vessel occlusion (LVO) is the obstruction of large, proximal cerebral
arteries and can account for up to 46% of acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) when both the A2 …

Background and Purpose: Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the importance
of time to endovascular therapy (EVT) in clinical outcomes in large vessel occlusion (LVO) …

Background and Purpose: Ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) could
benefit from direct transportation to an intervention center for endovascular treatment, but …

Background and Purpose: Severity-based assessment tools may assist in prehospital triage
of patients to comprehensive stroke centers (CSCs) for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) …

Background Mobile stroke units (MSUs) performance dependability and diagnostic yield of
16-slice, ultra-fast CT with auto-injection angiography (CTA) of the aortic arch/neck/circle of …

Abstract Changes in acute ischemic stroke thrombi structure and composition may result in
significant differences in treatment responsiveness. Ischemic stroke patients are often …

Background and purpose A mobile stroke unit (MSU) reduces delays in stroke treatment by
allowing thrombolysis on board and avoiding secondary transports. Due to the beneficial …
