Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore how acute kidney injury (AKI) affects 3-month mortality rates in patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT).
- - After reviewing 3,314 studies, only 18 met the criteria for analysis, ultimately focusing on 3,229 patients, finding a pooled odds ratio for mortality at 3 months in AKI patients to be 5.8.
- - Results indicated that AKI significantly increased mortality risk, with diabetes as a contributing factor, whereas younger age and less contrast media appeared to be protective factors.
Aim: To investigate the optimum antiplatelet therapy regimen (APTR) for emergent carotid artery stenting following mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in stroke patients with tandem occlusion.
Methods: A literature search was performed on Pubmed/OVID/Cochran's CENTRAL database for studies from 2015 to 2022. Patient characteristics, antiplatelet regimen type, mTICI, 90 days-mRS, acute in-stent thrombosis (AIST), mortality, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and sample size were recorded.
Background: Contrast media used in mechanical therapies for stroke and myocardial infarction represent a significant cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute medical scenarios. Although the continuous saline infusion line (CSIL) is a standard procedure to prevent thrombus formation within the catheter during neurovascular interventions of mechanical thrombectomy (MT), it is not utilized in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
Methods: A systematic review of the incidence of AKI after MT for stroke treatment was performed.
Objectives: To assess acute lipid profiles, atrial fibrillation and other cardiovascular risk factors in patients undergoing treatments by thrombectomy (EVT) with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the lipid profile and vascular risk factor in 1639 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke between January 2016 and December 2021. To assess lipid profiles, laboratory tests, including total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG), were obtained the day after admission.
Background: Thrombolysis (rTPA) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are cost-effective treatments for ischemic stroke. However, little is known about the impact of different types of health systems (HSs) on the outcome and cost of ischemic stroke.
Methods: Literature search was performed on PubMed/OVID for studies without time limits.
