Subhairline Electroencephalography for the Detection of Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association, 2023
Background Endovascular thrombectomy is standard treatment for patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke (LVO‐a). Prehospital identification of these patients would enable direct routing to an endovascular thrombectomy‐capable hospital and consequently reduce time‐to‐endovascular thrombectomy ...

No time to delay with large vessel occlusions

Neurology, 2020
Every 40 seconds, a stroke occurs in the United States. Strokes both disable patients and cause substantial cost to society, remaining among the top causes of long-term disability and costing an estimated $45.5 billion annually, of which $17.5 billion are due to indirect costs from lost productivity and mortality.1 Large vessel occlusions account for ...

Large Vessel Occlusion Score: A Screening Tool to Detect Large Vessel Occlusion in the Acute Stroke Setting

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2019
The results of recent trials of mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke have increased the demand for identification of patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) at the primary stroke center, where a prompt detection may expedite transfer to a comprehensive stroke center for endovascular treatment.

Clot Imaging in Large Vessel Occlusion Strokes

Topics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2017
Advances in mechanical thrombectomy techniques have resulted in improved, recanalization and functional outcomes in acute stroke, as demonstrated in recent, randomized trials comparing mechanical thrombectomy with thrombolysis. In conjunction with the technological advancements in thrombectomy devices, there has been better appreciation of stricter ...

Large Vessel Occlusion

2016
Select patients who are not eligible for IV tPA, or who do not recanalize with IV thrombolysis alone, may be treated with acute endovascular therapies within a 6-hour window. Mechanical thrombectomy, with or without intra-arterial tPA, has recently been shown to be effective in treating acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion.

Susceptibility Vessel Sign as a Predictor of Intracranial Large Vessel Occlusion

Journal of Stroke Medicine, 2023
Background The susceptibility vessel sign (SVS), which can be seen on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), is typically described as a dark blooming artifact. Objective SVS, which can be seen on T2*-weighted gradient echo imaging, is typically described as a dark blooming artifact.

Characterizing coma in large vessel occlusion stroke

Journal of Neurology
Coma is an unresponsive state of disordered consciousness characterized by impaired arousal and awareness. The epidemiology and pathophysiology of coma in ischemic stroke has been underexplored. We sought to characterize the incidence and clinical features of coma as a presentation of large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke.Individuals who presented with ...

Endovascular thrombectomy in pediatric patients with large vessel occlusion

Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery, 2019
Background Pediatric acute ischemic stroke with underlying large vessel occlusion is a rare disease with significant morbidity and mortality. There is a paucity of data about the safety and outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy in these cases, especially with modern devices.

Occlusion of Large Cerebral Vessels in Sickle-Cell Anemia

New England Journal of Medicine, 1972
Abstract Seven patients with sickle-cell anemia and neurologic deficits secondary to Central-nervous-system dysfunction were studied with cerebral angiography after careful preparation. Preparation of the patient reduced the level of S hemoglobin to less than 20 per cent before study, and all studies were performed without sequelae.
