Percutaneous vascular interventions versus intravenous thrombolytic treatment for acute ischaemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The present review directly compared intravenous thrombolytic treatment with percutaneous vascular interventions for ischaemic stroke. We found no evidence from RCTs that percutaneous vascular interventions are superior to intravenous thrombolytic treatment with respect to functional outcome. Quality of evidence was low (outcome assessment was blinded, but not the treating physician or participants). New trials with adequate sample sizes are warranted because of the rapid development of new techniques and devices for such interventions. PMID: 30365156 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Remote Ischemic Conditioning —Feasible and Potentially Beneficial for Ischemic Stroke
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability in the world. In 1996, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and remains the only approved pharmacologic agent for treatment of ischemic stroke in the US. In 2015, mechanical thrombectomy was shown to be beneficial for large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke, although 50% of patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy remain disabled at 3 months. Due to short time windows for thrombolytic therapy administration and the stroke system infrastructure needed for mechanical thrombectomy, these reperfusion therapies are a...

Utilization of emergency medical service increases chance of thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke
Conclusion Utilization of EMS can not only help acute ischemic stroke patients in early presentation to ED, but also effectively facilitate thrombolytic therapy and shorten the onset-to-needle time.

Safety of tirofiban for patients with acute ischemic stroke in routine clinical practice.
Authors: Zhu YQ, Zhang YJ, Ruan HL, Liu Q, Zhan Q, Li Q Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the safety of tirofiban alone and in combination with various treatments in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). A total of 120 patients with AIS were included in the study, and these patients were divided into three treatment groups: Group A (tirofiban alone, n=68), group B (tirofiban plus thrombolytic therapy, n=26), and group C (tirofiban as a 'bridging therapy', n=26). Risk factors, stroke severity, initial imaging, treatment regimens, complications and long-term outcomes were analyzed. In total, eight patie...

Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy in Stroke Medicine.
CONCLUSION: In patients with CAA, arterial hypertension should be tightly controlled. On the other hand, caution should be exercised in prescribing oral anticoagulants or platelet aggregation inhibitors for patients with CAA, or statins for patients who have already sustained a lobar ICH.

Susceptibility-weighted Imaging in Thrombolytic Therapy of Acute Ischemic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: It seems that SWI can be applied to guide individualized thrombolytic therapies and assist clinicians in making better decisions by weighing benefits and risks. However, there still exist controversies about the relationship between signs on SWI and thrombolytic therapy. PMID: 29052571 [PubMed - in process]

Effect of teleconsultation on the application of thrombolytic therapy in stroke patients in the emergency department
ConclusionsTeleconsultation was a successful and reliable strategy in assessing patients with ischemic stroke and making decisions for IV-tPA. Moreover, patient assessment via teleconsultation was less time consuming. The results of the study are promising for the use of teleconsultation in the future.

Role of perfusion imaging in acute stroke.
Authors: Sillanpää N Abstract Imaging has a central role in the diagnosis and classification of acute stroke, the triage of patients to different treatment approaches and the prediction of the clinical outcome and the risk of hemorrhagic complications. A multimodal imaging protocol that includes a perfusion study allows diagnostics beyond anatomical findings by enabling the characterization of the ischemic brain tissue and the cerebral hemodynamic state. This information potentially leads to more accurate clinical decision making with the intention to select the right patients for different revascularization ther...

Successful intravenous thrombolysis for ischemic stroke after reversal of dabigatran anticoagulation with idarucizumab: a case report
ConclusionsOur case report adds to the evidence that idarucizumab administration is safe in the setting of patients with atrial fibrillation treated with dabigatran who develop acute ischemic stroke requiring thrombolysis.

Glomerular Filtration Rate is Associated with Hemorrhagic Transformation in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients without Thrombolytic Therapy.
Conclusions: The present study strongly showed that lower GFR is an independently predictor of HT; in addition, large infarct volume, AF, and HA are also important risks of HT for AIS patients without TT, which offered a practical information that risk factors should be paid attention or eliminated to prevent HT for stroke patients though the level of evidence seems to be unstable.

Successful thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in ischemic stroke after idarucizumab administration for reversal of dabigatran: a case report
ConclusionsIntravenous thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator after reversal of dabigatran with idarucizumab may be safe and feasible in patients with acute ischemic stroke with lacunar infarct. Furthermore, intravenous thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator could be used in patients in emergency settings until just before the end of the recommended time limit within which it needs to be administered because of the immediate effect of idarucizumab.
