    • Endovascular thrombectomy and intra-arterial interventions for acute ischaemic stroke 

      Roaldsen, Melinda Berg; Jusufovic, Mirza; Berge, Eivind; Lindekleiv, Haakon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-14)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Most disabling strokes are due to a blockage of a large artery in the brain by a blood clot. Prompt removal of the clot with intra‐arterial thrombolytic drugs or mechanical devices, or both, can restore blood flow before major brain damage has occurred, leading to improved recovery. However, these so‐called endovascular interventions can cause bleeding in the brain. This is a ...

      <p>Background: Patients with wake-up ischemic stroke who have evidence of salvageable tissue on advanced imaging can benefit from intravenous thrombolysis. It is not known whether patients who do not fulfil such imaging criteria might benefit from treatment, but studies indicate that treatment based on non-contrast CT criteria may be safe. Tenecteplase has shown promising results in patients with ...
