Filter by:In the VECTOR trial, the aim is to analyze, in case of SVS+ occlusions, a first line Embotrap II added to CA combined strategy compare to CA alone strategy. Many practitioners are convinced that a first line strategy with CA alone is easy, safe, rapid and efficient. Maybe, after two, three, four ... passes and with the secondary help of a combined strategy, a high rate of eTICI 2b/3 could be reached with a CA first line strategy. But this could go with a higher number of passes, a waste of time and a suboptimal angiographic results (eTICI 2b) due to distal emboli, especially in case of friable, non-well organized, red blood cell rich (RBC) i.e. SVS + thrombi (25-28). This could, be related to worst clinical outcome at 3 months. VECTOR asks a relevant question: Do the invetigators have to add the use of an Embotrap II or III to the CA, from the first passes, in case of SVS+ clots?
The proposed trial is a pragmatic, registry linked, prospective, randomized (1:1) controlled, open-label parallel group clinical trial with blinded endpoint assessment of 1600 patients to test if intravenous tenecteplase (0.25 mg/kg body weight, max dose 25 mg) is non-inferior to intravenous alteplase (0.9 mg/kg body weight) in patients with acute ischemic stroke otherwise eligible for intravenous thrombolysis as per standard care. All patients will have standard of care medical management on an acute stroke unit. There are no additional trial specific management recommendations. Patients will be followed for approximately 90-120 days.
Lybrel® is an oral contraceptive that delivers low doses of levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol (90 μg/20 μg). Lybrel is taken on a continuous basis without a placebo or pill-free interval to inhibit menstrual cycle bleeding by delivering a steady level of the 2 hormones for as long as the drug is used. Lybrel was marketed in the US in July of 2007. The objective of this database case-control study is to estimate the risk of idiopathic VTE (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) in current users of Lybrel (ethinyl estradiol 20ug/levonorgestrel 90ug) compared to current users of other oral contraceptives containing 20μg of ethinyl estradiol.
Our overall aim is to examine if ultrasound is as accurate as MRI and/or CT in the evaluation of dural venous sinuses. We hypothesize that sonography will be accurate (accuracy >80%) for diagnosing specific anatomic findings of dural venous sinuses.
