Transfer of stroke patients impairs eligibility for endovascular stroke treatment

Evaluation of functional outcome measured by modified Rankin scale in rtPA treated patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Authors: Georgievski-Brkic B, Savic M, Nikolic D, Nikcevic L, Vukicevic M, Kozic D Abstract Aim of our study was to assess functional outcome measured by modified Rankin scale (mRS) in patients that were treated with thrombolytic therapy-recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) after acute ischemic stroke. The study included 100 participants that were treated after acute ischemic stroke. Analyzed parameters included: gender; age groups: age 54 and below (Groupup to-54), 55-64 (Group55-64), 65-74 (Group65-74), and 75 and above (Group75-up); cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV). Considerin...

Impacts of Cigarette Smoking and Basilar Artery Flow on 1-year Recovery in 3-Month survivors of Intracranial Vertebrobasilar Artery Dissection-related Ischemic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that adequate blood flow may be key to functional recovery after iVBDcaused PCS. Methods to improve blood flow and tissue perfusion after iVBD-caused PCS should be considered in the future clinical studies with the purpose to improve functional recovery in these patients.
