Objective: About 25% of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) present within the intravenous thrombolytic (IVT) therapeutic window of <4.5 h. This study is to elucidate the safety and efficacy of IVT in the extended therapeutic window (ETW) in patients with AIS.

However, there is limited data on the safety and outcomes of MT in AIS patients with thrombocytopenia. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of MT in this population.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The effective treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with cervical internal carotid pseudo-occlusion (cICA-PO) requires comprehensive research on the safety and outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). However, there are limited data available, highlighting the need for further research to ensure better treatment strategies and improve the quality of care for these patients.
Purpose: This study aims to assess the management and outcomes in this population group compared with patients with true carotid occlusion.
Background: Cancer-related cerebral embolism due to direct tumor embolization results in a rare acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion (LVO). Despite the established status of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in LVO management, its effectiveness and safety remains inadequately explored in this specific patient group.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, using the Nested Knowledge AutoLit software, encompassing databases like Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, from their inception up to 9 May 2023.
