- - Endovascular therapy (EVT) is a standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusion (LVO), but it can lead to a serious complication known as hemorrhagic conversion (HC), and the risk factors for this issue are not well understood.
- - Researchers conducted a retrospective study on 326 adults treated with EVT for AIS over four years to identify the predictors of radiographic and symptomatic HC, finding that factors like a prior ischemic stroke, low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS), and successful recanalization were significant risk factors for HC.
- - For symptomatic hemorrhagic conversion specifically, an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) was identified as a
BrainPath (NICO, Indianapolis, Indiana) is a tool that can be used to evacuate supratentorial hematomas due to spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, when ICH occurs in the posterior fossa, an open approach is often undertaken to evacuate the hematoma. The application of minimally invasive technology, while available, has not been well established.
