Urgent stenting of the M2 (superior) division of the middle cerebral artery after systemic thrombolysis in acute stroke.

چکیده
We report a case of a 54-year-old man who presented with a right middle cerebral artery territory infarct and was treated with systemic thrombolytics. He continued to fluctuate neurologically and, with the use of angiography, was found to have an occlusion of the right M2 artery (superior division). This occlusion was successfully revascularized with a coronary stent.

Adverse Outcome of Early Recurrent Ischemic Stroke Secondary to Atrial Fibrillation after Repeated Systemic Thrombolysis
Background. Recurrent ischemic stroke is associated with adverse neurological outcome in patients with atrial fibrillation. There is very scarce information regarding the neurological outcome of atrial fibrillation patients undergoing repeated systemic thrombolysis after early recurrent ischemic stroke. Clinical Case and Discussion. We describe a case of a 76-year-old woman with known paroxysma...
متن کاملThe importance of size: successful recanalization by intravenous thrombolysis in acute anterior stroke depends on thrombus length.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We hypothesize that in acute middle cerebral artery stroke, thrombus lengths measured in thin-slice nonenhanced CT images define a limit beyond which systemic thrombolysis will fail to recanalize occluded arteries. METHODS In 138 patients who presented with acute middle cerebral artery stroke and who were treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), we measured lengths ...

Background: Thrombolytic therapy is the only approved treatment for acute cerebral ischemia. The hemorrhagic transformation is the greatest complication of this treatment, which may occur after recanalization of occluded artery. The aim of this study was to determine factors associated with clinical improvement and worsening in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous th...
متن کاملInterventional acute ischemic stroke therapy with intracranial self-expanding stent.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Rapid and safe recanalization of occluded intracranial arteries in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is challenging. Newly available self-expanding intracranial atherosclerotic stents (SEIS), which can be deployed rapidly and safely, make acute stenting an option for treating AIS. We present the feasibility of this technique. METHODS A retrospective analysis evaluated procedu...
