Prognostic value of the systemic inflammation response index in patients with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionSIRI is an independent prognostic indicator for AIS. Elevated SIRI is associated with poor functional outcome of AIS. Our findings suggest the usefulness of SIRI to refine the risk stratification of unfavorable prognosis of AIS.

Prediction of blood pressure variability during thrombectomy using supervised machine learning and outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke from large vessel occlusion
AbstractMechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the standard of care for patients with acute ischemic stroke from large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO). The association of blood pressure variability (BPV) during MT and outcomes are unknown. We leveraged a supervised machine learning algorithm to predict patient characteristics that are associated with BPV indices. We performed a retrospective review of our comprehensive stroke center ’s registry of all adult patients undergoing MT between 01/01/2016 and 12/31/2019. The primary outcome was poor functional independence, defined as 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≥ 3. We used p...

Effective management of patients with acute ischemic stroke based on lean production on thrombolytic flow optimization
In this study, we aimed to determine whether applying lean principles to flow optimization could hasten the initiation of thrombolysis. A multidisciplinary team (Stroke Team) was organized to implement an ongoing, continuous loop of lean production that contained the following steps: decomposition, recognition, intervention, reengineering and assessment. The door-to-needle time (DNT) and the percentage of patients with DNT ≤ 60 min before and after the adoption of lean principles were used to evaluate the efficiency of our flow optimization. Thirteen patients with AIS in the pre-lean period and 43 patients with AIS in...

Association between Leukoaraiosis and Poor Outcome is not due to Reperfusion Inefficiency after Intravenous Thrombolysis
Abstract Leukoaraiosis (LA) is associated with structural and functional cerebrovascular impairment, which may compromise the capacity of ischemic tissue to maximize reperfusion after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). We aimed to determine whether severe LA is correlated with reperfusion inefficiency, which contributes to infarct growth and poor functional outcome. We analyzed data from our consecutive acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who had acquired baseline and 24-h follow-up diffusion- and perfusion-weighted imaging. Reperfusion was defined as reduction of ≥70 % of hypoperfusion lesion at 24 h from basel...

Intravenous thrombolysis for patients with in ‐hospital stroke onset: propensity‐matched analysis from the SITS‐EAST registry
ConclusionsOur findings underline the safety and efficacy of IVT for IHS. They also underscore the potential of reducing in‐hospital delays for timely tPA delivery in patients with IHS.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Early microvascular cerebral blood flow response to head-of-bed elevation is related to outcome in acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsEarly CBF response to mild HOB elevation in the ipsilesional hemisphere is related to functional outcome. Further studies may enable optical monitoring at the bedside to individualize management strategies in the early phase of AIS.

Efficacy of ADAPT with large-bore reperfusion catheter in anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke: a multicentric Italian experience
ConclusionsADAPT is a valid technique with respect to the rates of TICI 2b/3 recanalization and 90-day mRS scores. In this series, an attempt at recanalization with ADAPT with larger-bore reperfusion catheter may be warranted prior to stentriever thrombectomy.

Collateral Scores in Acute Ischemic Stroke
ConclusionAlthough collaterals are known to correlate with clinical outcome, none of the analyzed collateral scores sufficiently predicted outcome as a  standalone parameter.

Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Using a  Manually Expandable Stent Retriever (Tigertriever)
ConclusionThe Tigertriever offers a  safe and effective treatment option in ischemic stroke due to LVOs with reperfusion rates and a safety profile similar to alternative devices. The Tigertriever is a promising bail-out tool in complex cases. Its role as a first line device has to be evaluated in further prospective studies.

Use of intracranial stent as rescue therapy after mechanical thrombectomy failure —9-year experience in a comprehensive stroke centre
ConclusionPlacement of an intracranial stent as rescue therapy after MT failure was associated with better clinical outcome without significant increase in haemorrhagic complications. We believe that this procedure should be appraised in these patients.

Endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke due to tandem lesions of the anterior cerebral circulation: a multicentric Italian observational study
ConclusionIn our real-life series, the EVT for TLs ’ AIS was feasible, safe and effective in improving 90-day functional outcome with acceptable morbi-mortality rates. ECAS increased the risk of SICH, independently from the antiplatelet therapy regimen.

Combined therapy of intensive statin plus intravenous rt-PA in acute ischemic stroke: the INSPIRE randomized clinical trial
ConclusionThe INSPIRE study indicated that intensive statin therapy may not improve clinical outcomes compared with the low dose of statin therapy in AIS patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis, and the two groups had similar safety profile.Clinical trial registrationURL:http://www.chictr.org.

Efficacy outcomes and safety measures of intravenous tirofiban or eptifibatide for patients with acute ischemic stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies
AbstractTo review the literature for randomized control trials (RCTs) and prospective cohort studies investigating the safety and efficacy of tirofiban and eptifibatide in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane library were searched for available papers published up to September 2021. The efficacy was evaluated based on the 3-month favorable outcome [modified Rankin scale (mRS)  = 0–1], functional outcome (mRS = 0–2), and the last available National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score measured in each study. Twelve studies (two RCTs and 10 prospective cohorts) an...
