Article Synopsis
- This study looked at patients who had a type of serious stroke called large vessel occlusion (LVO) and how their past health problems affected their recovery after a specific treatment called endovascular therapy (EVT).
- Researchers checked the medical history and data of nearly 1,000 patients over five years to see how many had previous health issues and how they did after treatment.
- They found that patients with more past vascular problems had a higher chance of dying or not being independent after three months, and men had more bleeding complications than women during their hospital stay.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at the relationship between the absence of a specific MRI sign (susceptibility vessel sign or SVS) and active malignancy in patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy.
- The research found that 6.9% of patients had active malignancy, and those without the SVS were significantly more likely to have either active or hidden (occult) malignancy.
- Including SVS status in predictive models improved their performance in identifying malignancy, suggesting it could be a useful marker for detecting related complications in patients with stroke.
Background And Purpose: We aimed to assess the association of diabetes mellitus (DM) and admission hyperglycaemia (AH), respectively, and outcome in patients with acute ischaemic stroke with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation treated with endovascular therapy (EVT) in daily clinical practice.
Methods: Consecutive EVT patients admitted to our stroke centre between February 2015 and April 2020 were included in this observational cohort study. Patients with versus without DM and with versus without AH (glucose ≥ 7.
Background And Aims: To investigate whether stroke aetiology affects outcome in patients with acute ischaemic stroke who undergo endovascular therapy.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed patients from the Bernese Stroke Centre Registry (January 2010-September 2018), with acute large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation due to cardioembolism or large-artery atherosclerosis, treated with endovascular therapy (±intravenous thrombolysis).
Results: The study included 850 patients (median age 77.
