Combined therapy of intensive statin plus intravenous rt-PA in acute ischemic stroke: the INSPIRE randomized clinical trial
ConclusionThe INSPIRE study indicated that intensive statin therapy may not improve clinical outcomes compared with the low dose of statin therapy in AIS patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis, and the two groups had similar safety profile.Clinical trial registrationURL:http://www.chictr.org.

Thrombocytopenia and declines in platelet counts: predictors of mortality and outcome after mechanical thrombectomy
ConclusionIn AIS patients treated with MT an initial TP was independently associated with higher mortality rates and a marked DPC with higher mortality rates as well as poorer clinical outcomes.

Determining factors of better leptomeningeal collaterals: a study of 857 consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients
ConclusionsYounger age, dyslipidemia and lower creatinine levels were predictors of better collaterals in AIS patients from proximal MCA occlusions. Greater degree of collaterals related to lower stroke severity on admission. On neuroimaging, better collaterals were independently associated with minor early ischemic changes and lower clot burden. These data may add knowledge on pathophysiology of collaterals development and may help to identify patients with better collaterals for late or aggressive recanalization treatments.
