Article Synopsis
- The Tigertriever is an innovative stentriever designed to improve mechanical thrombectomy by allowing better user control for tackling different clot types and vessel sizes.
- This paper combines insights from experienced professionals to evaluate the Tigertriever's capabilities and shares updated techniques for its use in clinical settings.
- It highlights the "FLEX" approach, which promotes efficient clot integration while minimizing disruption, especially important for working in challenging distal locations.
Background: Delays in reperfusion treatment, both intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular treatment (EVT), adversely affect outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). To alleviate these delays, it is essential to comprehend how patients' baseline and stroke characteristics impact in-hospital reperfusion delays. While demographic and socioeconomic factors affect stroke outcomes, their impact on in-hospital delays remains unclear.

Acute incidental CMI was found to be more common in patients with cancer. Whether acute incidental CMI predicts future ischemic stroke is still unknown.

This research gap creates a bias against their treatment in clinical practice. Our goal was to compare the safety and efficacy of intravenous-thrombolysis (t-PA) and endovascular treatment (EVT) in individuals with or without pre-AIS dementia.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Endovascular treatment (EVT) with mechanical thrombectomy is the standard of care for large vessel occlusion (LVO) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The most common approach today is to perform EVT in a comprehensive stroke center (CSC) and transfer relevant patients for EVT from a primary stroke center (PSC). Rapid and efficient treatment of LVO is a key factor in achieving a good clinical outcome.
