Article Synopsis
- The study investigates predictors of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) and cerebral edema (CED) in stroke patients undergoing endovascular treatment after experiencing large vessel occlusion (LVO).
- It analyzes data from 1,400 patients to find clinical and procedural factors associated with these complications, identifying variables like diabetes, NIHSS scores, and ASPECTS ratings as significant predictors.
- Results show that HT occurred in 18% of patients and CED in 19.2%, with general anesthesia linked to a lower risk of HT, while factors like longer onset-to-groin times and invasive procedures raised the risk for both complications.
Background: Angioedema, like anaphylaxis, has been reported as a rare adverse event of alteplase infusion in acute ischemic stroke.
Objective: We report the case of a patient with acute ischemic stroke who, after treatment of alteplase, developed angioedema.
Methods: We report the case of an 81-year-old woman who presented to our observation with acute ischemic stroke.
