Mechanical Recanalization following i.v. Thrombolysis: A Retrospective Analysis regarding Secondary Hemorrhagic Infarctions and Parenchymal Hematomas [PDF]
Introduction. In acute stroke by occlusion of the proximal medial cerebral artery (MCA) or the distal internal carotid artery, intravenous thrombolysis is an established treatment. Another option is mechanical recanalization.

Early experience with the FlowTriever thrombectomy system to treat pulmonary embolism
To the Editor, Catheter-directed therapy is indicated in high-risk patients (PE-HR) to treat pulmonary embolism (PE) when systemic thrombolysis is contraindicated or has failed (indication IIA, C).

Development of a computerised decision aid for thrombolysis in acute stroke care [PDF]
Background - Thrombolytic treatment for acute ischaemic stroke improves prognosis, although there is a risk of bleeding complications leading to early death/severe disability. Benefit from thrombolysis is time dependent and treatment must be administered

Mechanical thrombectomy: Review
Large vessel occlusion stroke contributes to disability and mortality out of proportion to its incidence. Over time it was noted that intravenous thrombolysis alone was not sufficient for this stroke type.

Mismatch-based delayed thrombolysis: a meta-analysis [PDF]
<p><b>Background and Purpose</b>: Clinical benefit from thrombolysis is reduced as stroke onset to treatment time increases. The use of "mismatch" imaging to identify patients for delayed treatment has face validity and has been used in
