Infarct Evolution in a Large Animal Model of Middle Cerebral Artery
Mechanical thrombectomy for the treatment of ischemic stroke shows high rates of recanalization; however, some patients still have a poor clinical outcome. A proposed reason for this relates to the fact that the ischemic infarct growth differs significantly between patients. ... 3 New England Center for Stroke Research, Department of Radiology ...
Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography for Neurointerventional
Introduction: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging modality that uses backscattered light to produce cross-sectional images of biological tissue with micro-meter resolution. The first paper published using the term optical coherence tomography appeared in 1991 and arose as a collaboration between the Massachusetts ...
Collateral Effect of Covid-19 on Stroke Evaluation in the United States
We had access to data on 231,753 patients who underwent imaging processed with RAPID software in 856 hospitals in the United States from July 1, 2019 through April 27, 2020.
Trial of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Large Ischemic Strokes
The trial was stopped early for efficacy; 178 patients had been assigned to thrombectomy and 174 to medical care. The median ischemic-core volumes were 74 ml and 77 ml in the two groups, respectively.
Very early blood pressure control confers bot
Early identification of stroke type could be key to harnessing the benefits of very early in-ambulance blood pressure lowering treatment in patients with suspected acute stroke, according to new ...
Frontiers
Introduction. Cerebral sinus and venous thrombosis (CSVT) represent 0.5-1% of all stroke cases with an annual incidence of approximately 15 per million (1, 2).CSVT frequently affects young people (3-5).Current guidelines recommend using low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in the acute phase of CSVT, followed by vitamin K antagonists (VKA) (2, 6).
Recovery
It also prevents new medical problems from developing by using carefully directed repetitive practice. Research shows this repetitive practice—the same kind of practice used by all people when learning a new skill, like playing the piano or throwing a baseball—can help stroke patients.

New study reveals age-related brain changes influence recovery after stroke
A new study has revealed that areas of age-related damage in the brain relate to motor outcomes after a stroke -- a phenomenon that may be under-recognized in stroke research. The new ...

Stroke Facts
Fast facts. In 2021, 1 in 6 deaths from cardiovascular disease was due to stroke. 1 The death rate for stroke increased from 38.8 per 100,000 in 2020 to 41.1 per 100,000 in 2021. 1 Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. 2 Every 3 minutes and 14 seconds, someone dies of stroke. 1 Every year, more than 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke. 2
