Filter by:Patients with severe ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, who require mechanical ventilation, have a particularly bad prognosis. If they require long-term ventilation, their orotracheal tube needs to be, like in any other intensive care patient, replaced by a shorter tracheal tube below the larynx. This so called tracheostomy might be associated with advantages such as less demand of narcotics and pain killers, less lesions in mouth and larynx, better mouth hygiene, safer airway, more patient comfort and earlier mobilisation. The best timepoint for tracheostomy in stroke, however, is not known. This study investigates the potential benefits of early tracheostomy in ventilated critically ill patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.
The aim of this study is the evaluation of two usual care strategies after stroke or TIA : achieved target LDL-C of 100 mg/dL (+/-10 mg/dL) or less than 70 mg/dL. Investigators will use the statin and titrate the dosage to achieve the target assigned by randomization in monotherapy or in combination with ezetimibe or other drugs. The primary end-point is the occurrence of recurrent non fatal stroke, non fatal MI, and vascular death in each group. 3760 patients will be recruited and followed for eight and a half years maximum.
The objective of this study is to determine the natural history of acute ischemic stroke from large vessel thromboembolism in the brain. The target population is a stroke cohort with a known infarct volume who presents within 8 hours from symptom onset with a NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score >10 who are eligible for mechanical thrombectomy but without receiving the treatment. Functional outcome as defined by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of all enrolled patients will be followed for 90 days after the index event.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Cilostazol in slowing down the progression of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in ischemic stroke patients with PAD in Taiwan.
The purpose is to demonstrate the safety of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) in ischemic stroke patients who present to the emergency department (ED) after awakening with the symptoms of suspected ischemic stroke.
The investigators propose an evaluation that will assess three important components of risk communication: 1. provide patients with personalized risk communication using the risk calculator developed by FIMDM and health information taken from the Living with Coronary Artery Disease program 2. provide personalized tailored patient feedback to help initiate and maintain specific cardiovascular CVD-related behaviors(e.g., medication adherence, exercise, diet, smoking cessation) to reduce their risks. 3. evaluate how this feedback can be incorporated into clinical care by examining 3 month patient outcome and provider responses to the risk information.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ACP in subjects with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation by demonstrating that the device is non-inferior to optimal medical therapy (OMT) with respect to the primary effectiveness endpoint and superior to OMT with respect to primary safety endpoint.
The objectives of the trial of a medication-coach program for patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack are to pilot test the study design, the intervention components and the data collection forms and refine them for a larger trial whose goal will be to improve long-term adherence to stroke prevention medications.
Aim of this randomized controlled study is to test if intensive polyintervention therapy including life style modifications targeting at reduction of modifiable risk factors of stroke can reduce the risk of post-stroke cognitive decline compared to a group of patients receiving standard care.
To determine the revascularization rate of the CE-marked Trevo device in large vessel occlusions in ischemic stroke patients. - Revascularization, defined as at least TICI 2a in the vascular territory treated at end of the neuro interventional procedure.
