Background And Purpose: Optimal blood pressure (BP) management in the acute phase of ischemic stroke remains an unresolved issue. It is uncertain whether guidelines for BP management during and after intravenous alteplase can be extrapolated to endovascular treatment (EVT) for stroke due to large artery occlusion in the anterior circulation. We evaluated the associations between systolic BP (SBP) in the first 6 hours following EVT and functional outcome as well as symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.

- The impact of COVID-19 has raised concerns about its long-term mental and physical effects, particularly in the Netherlands where there were significant cases, hospitalizations, and deaths during the pandemic.
- The study aims to create an online assessment tool called ABCoV to evaluate the long-term burden of COVID-19 on patients, inspired by existing tools for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
- By January 2021, over 2500 patients utilized the ABCoV tool, providing valuable data that may help understand the ongoing challenges faced by COVID-19 survivors.
Objective: To evaluate the role of blood pressure (BP) as mediator of the effect of conscious sedation (CS) compared to local anesthesia (LA) on functional outcome after endovascular treatment (EVT).
Methods: Patients treated in the Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands (MR CLEAN) Registry centers with CS or LA as preferred anesthetic approach during EVT for ischemic stroke were analyzed. First, we evaluated the effect of CS on area under the threshold (AUT), relative difference between baseline and lowest procedural mean arterial pressure (∆LMAP), and procedural BP trend, compared to LA.
