      Silva Santos, Andreia M.; Rossi, Rosanna; Pandit, Abhay; Fitzgerald, Seán; Mereuta, Oana Madalina; Douglas, Andrew; Thornton, John; Brennan, Paul; Power, Sarah; O’Hare, Alan; Rentzos, Alexandros; Ceder, Erik; Tatlisumak, Turgut; Jood, Katarina; Redfors, Petra; Nordanstig, Annika; Duffy, Sharon; Gilvarry, Michael; McCarthy, Ray; Doyle, Karen M. (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 ...

(Springer, 2021-08-20)
      Background and purpose There is still much debate whether bridging-therapy [intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) prior to mechanical thrombectomy (MT)] might be beneficial compared to MT alone. We investigated the effect of IVT ...

(Elsevier, 2020-11-24)
      Objectives There is a paucity of knowledge in the literature relating to the extent of clot burden and stroke etiology. In this study, we measured the Extracted Clot Area (ECA) retrieved during endovascular treatment (EVT) ...
    • Orbit image analysis machine learning software can be used for the histological quantification of acute ischemic stroke blood clots 

      Fitzgerald, Seán; Wang, Shunli; Dai, Daying; Murphree Jr, Dennis H.; Pandit, Abhay; Douglas, Andrew; Rizvi, Asim; Kadirvel, Ramanathan; Gilvarry, Michael; McCarthy, Ray; Stritt, Manuel; Gounis, Matthew J.; Brinjikji, Waleed; Kallmes, David F.; Doyle, Karen M. (Public Library of Science, 2019-12-05)
