Endovascular mechanical clot retrieval in a broad ischemic stroke cohort.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our aim was to describe an expanded experience with endovascular mechanical embolectomy in a broad group of patients, including those not meeting entry criteria for the MERCI multicenter trials. METHODS We performed an analysis of all patients with ischemic stroke treated with the Merci Clot Retrieval Device at a single academic center outside of the Mechanical Embolus ...
متن کاملClot retrieval for stroke: 'yes we can,' but priority for trials and registries.
Few controversies have generated as much heat as the questions surrounding the role of clot retrieval. A core issue in this debate is the licensing of clot retrieval devices based solely on Phase II evidence. Our protagonists have excelled themselves in fueling the debate; as always, we will take a measured middle ground! In our careers, the proof of efficacy of intravenous tissue plasminogen a...
متن کاملEndovascular clot retrieval therapy: implications for the organization of stroke systems of care in North America.
Endovascular acute ischemic stroke therapy is now proven by randomized controlled trials to produce large, clinically meaningful benefits. In response, stroke systems of care must change to increase timely and equitable access to this therapy. In this review, we provide a North American perspective on implications for stroke systems, focusing on the United States and Canada, accompanied by init...
متن کاملClot retrieval for stroke should be restricted to clinical trials: no.
Intra-arterial (IA) stroke thrombolysis using clot retrieval devices is currently being done routinely at most comprehensive stroke centers worldwide. In the United States, the MERCI retriever was used in 2300 ischemic stroke interventions in 2006 and total IA ischemic stroke interventions were estimated to be 3500 to 7200.1 Estimates of the potential annual number of IA stroke interventions in...
متن کاملClot Length Assessment in Stroke Therapy Decisions.
See related article, p 756. Identifying suitable patients for reperfusion therapies using imaging parameters is an exciting but controversial field of research. Numerous prognostic markers have been proposed, yet few modify the risk–benefit of reperfusion sufficiently to alter a decision to treat. The study by Yan et al uses gadolinium-enhanced T1 magnetic resonance imaging to measure clot leng...
