State-of-the-Art Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Authors: Raphaeli G, Mazighi M, Pereira VM, Turjman F, Striefler J Abstract Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the USA. An estimated 795,000 new or recurrent stroke events occur annually, mostly ischemic in nature. Arterial recanalization and subsequent reperfusion performed shortly after symptom onset can help to restore brain function in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The only treatment currently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration is intravenous tissue plasminogen activator, administered within 4.5 h of symptom onset. However, this short window often precludes effective interventi...

Hemorrhagic Stroke: Endoscopic Aspiration
Adv Tech Stand Neurosurg. 2022;44:97-119. doi: 10.1007/978-3-030-87649-4_5.ABSTRACTIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) carry a very dismal prognosis. Several medical and surgical attempts have been made to reduce mortality and to improve neurological outcomes in survivors. Aggressive surgical treatment of ICH through craniotomy and microsurgical evacuation did not prove to be beneficial to these patients, compared to the best medical treatment. Similarly, the conventional treatment of IVH using an EVD is often effective in controlling ICP only initially, as it is very likely for the EVD to ...
