Background and Purpose: Early neurological deterioration occurs in one-third of mild
strokes primarily due to the presence of a relevant intracranial occlusion. We studied …

Only a minor proportion of patients with acute ischemic stroke receive treatment with
intravenous thrombolysis. The purpose of this study was to explore reasons for not giving …

Background Mechanical thrombectomy has been proven as a standard care for moderate to
severe ischemic stroke with anterior large vessel occlusion (LVO); however, whether it is …

Background The introduction of neurological stroke units and of thrombolysis with the
intravenous (IV) administration of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) have …

BACKGROUND: Patients with minor ischemic stroke (MIS) are frequently excluded from
thrombolytic therapy. Denial of therapy to these patients, however, remains controversial …

Purpose Many stroke patients with large vessel occlusion present with a low National
Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). There is currently no level 1A recommendation for …

Background and Purpose—Transient or minor ischemic stroke is associated with an early
risk of deterioration. Baseline perfusion–diffusion mismatch may predict clinical deterioration …

It remains controversial as to whether mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is safer and more
beneficial in patients with large vessel occlusion stroke (LVOS) presenting with a National …

Background Thrombolysis of ischemic stroke patients presenting with mild symptoms is
controversial. Aim We aimed to describe the clinical outcome and frequency of infarcts and …

Background: Thrombolysis is often withheld from acute ischemic stroke patients presenting
with mild symptoms; however, up to 40% of these patients end up with a poor outcome when …
