The trial screened all patients with cryptogenic stroke, regardless of infarct topography. Acute brain infarction in multiple arterial territories could more strongly suggest a central embolic source.
Introduction: Early prediction of final infarct volume is a vital component of clinical recovery. Ischemic infarct volume is an independent predictor of stroke prognosis with larger volumes ...
When this artery becomes occluded, it can lead to a specific type of stroke known as AOP infarction, which typically results in bilateral thalamic infarcts. This condition is not only uncommon but ...
39 patients met the inclusion criteria. We evaluated infarct pattern (embolic, adjacent perforator, or watershed) and vascular distribution. Results Basilar artery stenosis was most likely to present ...
Background Recent studies, including the TENSION trial, support the use of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke with large infarct (Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography ...
An alternative strategy is for patients at high risk for ischemic stroke to be taking medications at the time of the event that will reduce infarct size. A recent trial aimed to study whether the ...
The Food and Drug Administration has approved Ozempic ® (semaglutide) to reduce the risk of sustained estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline, end-stage kidney disease, and cardiovascular ...
