The effect of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors on thrombolysis-induced haemorrhagic transformation
Publication date: Available online 11 September 2019Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Yousheng Wu, Dan Lu, Anding XuAbstractThrombolysis-induced haemorrhagic transformation is the most challenging preventable complication in thrombolytic therapy. This condition is often associated with poor functional outcome and long-term disease burden. Statins, or 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, are controversially suggested to either increase or decrease the odds of better primary outcomes compared to treatment without statins after thrombolysis in patients or animals; statins are ...

Mechanical thrombectomy for recurrent large vessel occlusion
Publication date: Available online 18 May 2019Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): P. Bhogal, M. AlMatter, V. Hellstern, M. Aguilar Pérez, O. Ganslandt, H. Bäzner, H. HenkesAbstractAlthough mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has been shown in numerous trials to be a successful treatment option for patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO), there is limited information on the safety and effectiveness of the technique in cases of recurrent LVO. To this end, we performed a retrospective review of our prospectively maintained database to identify all patients that had undergone more than one MT procedure January 200...

Association of serum lipids with clinical outcome in acute ischaemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
This study aimed at assessing the association between serum lipid and clinical outcomes in acute ischaemic stroke. Relevant data were obtained from Cochrane Library, PubMed and Web of Science databases. The heterogeneity of pooled results was determined by the Cochran’s Q test and Higgins I-squared statistic. The random-effect model was performed to calculate the pooled results if PH < 0.05 for Q-test, otherwise the fixed-effect model was applied. The primary results were death, and the secondary were recurrence, dependency, mRS score ≥3, and early neurological deterioration. A total of 21 full-text studies was...
