The utility and necessity of pretreatment with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before
mechanical thrombectomy (MT) remains an issue of strong debate. This study aims to …

Ischemic stroke is a multi-factorial cerebrovascular disease with high worldwide morbidity
and mortality. In the past few years, multiple studies have revealed the underlying …

Stress hyperglycemia may impair outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS)
undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT). The glucose-to-glycated hemoglobin ratio …

Background Whether intravenous thrombolysis before mechanical thrombectomy provides
additional benefit for functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke remains uncertain. We …

Non-contrast computer tomography detects the presence of hyperdense middle cerebral

Objective In this review and meta-analysis we sought to compare the efficacy and safety of
direct endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) and bridging therapy for intravenous thrombolysis …

Background The use of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before mechanical thrombectomy
(MT) for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) is a debatable …

To assess the clinical value of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) combined with intravenous
thrombolysis (IVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) by comparing it with the MT alone. In this …

Objective To evaluate the comparative safety and efficacy of direct endovascular
thrombectomy (dEVT) compared to bridging therapy (BT; IV tissue plasminogen activator+ …

Background: Whether bridging strategies [intravenous thrombolysis (IVT)+ mechanical
thrombectomy (MT)] are superior to mechanical thrombectomy alone for large vessel …
