Filter by:The primary aim of this study is to assess if there is a difference in first pass reperfusion between the two devices. This is a randomized prospective study to assess if there is a difference in first pass reperfusion at two centers with large mechanical thrombectomy volumes. Data will also be collected on time-to treatment, outcomes and hemorrhagic complications.
This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, evaluator-blinded, single center, proof of concept trial to explore possible beneficial effect of minocycline on acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing endovascular treatment due to basilar artery occlusion (BAO). Minocycline has excellent safety profiles, have been previously demonstrated individually to reduce infarction in animal models of stroke, and have potentially mechanisms of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic and protection of blood-brain barrier. However, it is not known whether minocycline can reduce futile recanalization of endovascular treatment, and improve the outcome of patients with AIS due to BAO. Eligible and willing subjects will be randomly assigned to the treatment group or the control group. The treatment group will receive 200 mg oral minocycline within three hours prior to successful reperfusion, followed by 100 mg every 12 hours times for a total of 5 days. Both groups will receive endovascular thrombectomy and standard medical. The treatment with minocycline will start as soon as possible after diagnosis of stroke. Measures of stroke severity and disability will be recorded at baseline and through the follow-up periods (90 days). The evaluator will be blind to the allocation of patients further minimizing the bias.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of rhPro-UK (35mg) versus standard medical treatment in acute mild ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of symptom onset.
TECNO is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) proof-of-concept trial evaluating if additional administration of intra-arterial Tenecteplase (TNK) improves reperfusion in patients with incomplete mechanical thrombectomy (MT). For this purpose, 156 adult participants experiencing an acute ischemic stroke due to a large vessel occlusion with incomplete reperfusion with residual occlusions after MT will be randomly assigned to receive 3mg intra-arterial (IA) TNK or best medical treatment. Recruitment will occur at 20 academic tertiary stroke care centers in Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, and Germany and patients are followed up for 90 days after the index event. Showing superiority for reperfusion outcomes would have a major impact on the future management of stroke patients.
In this prospective cohort study, the investigators aim to investigate the incidence of ICM-detected AF in unselected ischemic stroke patients and its association with anticoagulation initiation and stroke recurrence.
The present clinical trial compares the effect of two general anesthesia (GA) modalities, the one with volatile anesthetic sevoflurane (endotracheal-intubated) and the other integrating total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol (non-intubated), on post-procedural delirium and cognitive dysfunction after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in the participants with acute ischemic stroke. To assess the outcome of both modalities, the sedation depth of GA will be regulated with processed electroencephalogram monitor to reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium and the peri-procedural blood pressure will be controlled according to the guideline.Based on that, the investigators try to find a better general anesthetic modality for acute ischemic stroke participants undergoing EVT.
To evaluate the feasibility of Emergency Medical System (EMS)-performed cPOCUS in the field for diagnosis of acute Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)
The purpose of this study is to create a state-wide biorepository and resource center for cerebrovascular diseases in Florida, which will include collecting medical history information and blood from subjects affected by cerebrovascular disease. The information and blood samples collected may be used in future research for the study of cerebrovascular disease and to learn about, prevent or treat other health problems.
The Bio-Repository of DNA in Stroke (BRAINS) recruits all subtypes of stroke as well as controls from two different continents, Europe and Asia. Subjects recruited from the United Kingdom (UK) will include stroke patients of European ancestry as well as British South Asians. Stroke subjects from South Asia will be recruited from India and Sri Lanka. Subjects are also recruited in Qatar. South Asian cases will also have control subjects recruited.
Minocycline is the second generation of tetracycline. Because of its lipophilicity, it has high penetrance of blood-brain barrier. Animal model studies have shown that minocycline can reduce cerebral damage after ischemic stroke, and its mechanism involves multiple molecular pathways, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti apoptotic pathways, and protection of blood-brain barrier. Clinical studies have also shown that minocycline can significantly improve 3-month National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of patients with ischemic stroke, indicating that minocycline is a potential neuroprotective drug. Minocycline is believed to protect the blood-brain barrier, thereby reducing the ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by mechanical thrombectomy. However, whether minocycline can become a synergistic treatment method of mechanical thrombectomy, there is no clinical research in this area at present. Therefore, investigators carry out the study on the effect of minocycline in patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke after mechanical thrombectomy, and plan to enroll 180 patients. To explore the safety and effectiveness of minocycline in patients with acute ischemic stroke after thrombectomy.
