Intra-arterial neuroprotective therapy as an adjunct to endovascular intervention in acute ischemic stroke: A review of the literature and future directions.
Authors: Link TW, Santillan A, Patsalides A Abstract Mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion has been shown to significantly improve outcomes. However, despite efficient rates of recanalization (60-90%), the rates of functional independence remain suboptimal (14-58%), most likely due to pathways of cell death in the brain that have already committed despite successful reperfusion. Pharmacologic neuroprotection provides a potential means of preventing this inevitable damage through targeting excitotoxicity, reactive oxygen species, cellular apoptosis, and inflammation. Numerou...
