BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The aim of acute stroke interventions is to achieve
recanalization of the target occluded artery. We sought to determine whether pretreatment …

Background and Purpose—The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of noncontrast
CT in the selection of patients to receive thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke and …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate whether
angiographic demarcation of an occlusive lesion may predict successful or failed result of …

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose. It has been suggested that intravenous tissue
plasminogen activator (TPA) would not lyse the large thrombus associated with internal …

OBJECTIVE: Intra-arterial therapies are being used more frequently in patients presenting
with acute cerebral occlusions, but they have been limited by the potential for hemorrhage …

Background and Purpose—The goal of this study was to evaluate the utility of perfusion-
weighted CT (PWCT) in predicting final infarct volume and clinical outcome in patients with …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether, in
acute stroke patients treated with intra-arterial (IA) recanalization therapy, CT perfusion …

Objective To determine the rate of subacute recanalization and reocclusion and its effect on
clinical outcomes among patients with ischemic stroke treated with endovascular treatment …

Objective Collateral flow is important for ischemic brain tissue after an acute occlusion of the
cerebral artery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate baseline collateral flow, on CT …

BACKGROUND: Reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is rapidly evolving, with
the development of multiple endovascular modalities that can be used alone or in …
