Fatty acid binding protein expression in clots retrieved by mechanical thrombectomy from patients with acute ischaemic stroke
(Sage Publications, 2019-05-22)
Introduction:
Lipid accumulation and inflammation are considered hallmarks of the unstable atherosclerotic plaque. In particular, adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (FABP4) expression within the plaque is associated ...
Dielectric profile of blood clots to inform ischemic stroke treatments
(IEEE, 2020-07-20)
Platelet and fibrin-rich blood clots can respond
differently to red blood cell rich clots during ischemic stroke
treatment, which includes thrombolysis and mechanical
thrombectomy. Currently, there is no accurate way ...
The impact of occlusion location and bridging therapy in patients affected by acute ischemic stroke in determining the total number of passes required to remove the clot and the final revascularization outcome
(WFITN (World Federation of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology), 2019-10-21)
Purpose
Our purpose was to assess the impact of occlusion location in patients suffering from Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) on the total number of passes (attempts) necessary to retrieve the clot and on final revascularization ...
Does bridging therapy in mechanical thrombectomy increase recanalization rates in ischemic stroke patients affected by acute large vessel occlusion?
(SAGE Publications, 2019-05-22)
Both intravenous thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator (IV-rtPA) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) increase recanalization rates. We assessed if bridging-therapy (the concomitant use of rtPA and MT) could increase ...
