Trends in New Zealand stroke thrombolysis treatment rates.
CONCLUSIONS: There have been improvements in stroke thrombolysis rates and treatment delays in New Zealand hospitals since the institution of the National Stroke Network thrombolysis register. The Network will continue to adjust key performance indicators, and stroke thrombolysis targets for individual DHBs have been increased to 8% for 2017 and 10% for 2018.

Stroke thrombolysis in New Zealand: data from the first 6 months of the New Zealand Thrombolysis Register.
Authors: Joshi P, Fink J, Barber PA, Davis A, Lanford J, Seymour A, Wright P, Busby W, Abernethy G, Ranta AA Abstract The New Zealand National Stroke Network introduced a National Stroke Thrombolysis Register on the first of January 2015 to assist with quality assurance and continuous service improvement. In the first 6 months, there were 179 [75 women, mean (SD) age 69.9 (14) years] treated with stroke thrombolysis out of a total of 2,796 ischaemic stroke patients, giving a national thrombolysis rate of 6.4%. The median [Inter-quartile range (IQR)] onset-to-treatment time was 154 (125-190) minutes, and the median ...

Iron nanoparticle contrast enhanced microwave imaging for emergent stroke: A pilot study
Publication date: Available online 1 November 2018Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Joseph S. Hudson, Timothy K. Chung, Benjamin S. Prout, Yasunori Nagahama, Madhavan L. Raghavan, David M. HasanAbstractEmergent stroke is mostly evaluated using hospital based imaging. Quick imaging allows for rapid administration of IV thrombolysis and outcome improvement. Microwave imaging (MI) is an emerging portable imaging modality. Iron oxide nanoparticles are known to interact with microwave frequency electromagnetic radiation. In this manuscript, we provide proof of concept for a novel iron oxide nanoparticle enhance...

E-005 Preliminary results of the SUMMIT NZ ischemic stroke trial: MonoPoint(R) embolectomy featuring a novel 088 aspiration catheter and specialized delivery catheter
ConclusionsPreliminary findings suggest that first-line aspiration embolectomy using a novel MonoPoint® system including an 0.088" inner diameter aspiration catheter achieves a high rate of arterial revascularization with an acceptable safety profile. A full report on enrollment and results are to be presented.Disclosures S. Brew: 1; C; Route 92 Medical. 2; C; Route 92 Medical, Microvention. B.

Atrial fibrillation and anticoagulation in patients hospitalised for stroke in the REGIONS Care Study
CONCLUSIONS: Although anticoagulation prescribing in AF has improved, one third of stroke patients with known AF were not taking an anticoagulant prior to admission and the majority did not appear to have an absolute contraindication offering a multidisciplinary opportunity for improvement. There were no significant differences for Māori and non-urban populations in anticoagulant prescribing.PMID:37536308
