Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for acute ischaemic stroke.
Background Most cases of stroke are caused by impairment of blood flow to the brain (ischaemia), which results in a reduction in available oxygen and subsequent cell death. It has been postulated that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may reduce the volume of brain that will die by greatly increasing available oxygen, and it may further improve outcomes by reducing brain swelling. Some centres a...
متن کاملReperfusion therapy of acute ischaemic stroke and acute myocardial infarction: similarities and differences
The evolution of reperfusion therapy in acute myocardial infarction and acute ischaemic stroke has many similarities: thrombolysis is superior to placebo, intra-arterial thrombolysis is not superior to intravenous (i.v.), facilitated intervention is of questionable value, and direct mechanical recanalization without thrombolysis is proven (myocardial infarction) or promising (stroke) to be supe...
متن کامل[Reperfusion in acute ischaemic stroke: present and future].
Cerebral ischaemia is a dynamic process triggered when an intracranial artery is acutely occluded, normally due to an embolism from the heart or from arteriolosclerotic lesions of more proximal arteries. Urgent rerouting of these arteries and early reperfusion of the cerebral tissue, neuroprotector therapies that intervene in the ischaemic cascade and prevention of recurrence are the therapeuti...
متن کاملEndovascular therapy for acute ischaemic stroke: the Pragmatic Ischaemic Stroke Thrombectomy Evaluation (PISTE) randomised, controlled trial
OBJECTIVE The Pragmatic Ischaemic Thrombectomy Evaluation (PISTE) trial was a multicentre, randomised, controlled clinical trial comparing intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) alone with IVT and adjunctive intra-arterial mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients who had acute ischaemic stroke with large artery occlusive anterior circulation stroke confirmed on CT angiography (CTA). DESIGN Eligible p...
