Filter by: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.
This is a prospective, randomized, single blind, concurrent controlled, multi-center study. Patients presenting with symptoms of acute ischemic stroke who have evidence of a large vessel occlusion in the cerebral circulation.
Arterial wall shear stress (WSS) contributes to atherosclerosis from its inception, progression, and disruption of plaque. However, there is no previous study for an association between cerebral artery WSS and clinical outcome in patients with ischemic stroke in lenticulostriate artery. The researchers aimed to investigate whether the signal intensity gradient (SIG) from Time-of-Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography (TOF MRA) in cerebral arteries, as a surrogate measure of arterial WSS, is associated with clinical outcome, which was determined with modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The patients (n=294) with the lenticulostriate artery infarction were collected in 3 hospitals with variable locations and sizes (Gunsan, Jeonju, and Seoul). For a clinical outcome, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) were checked serially from the date of admission. The mRS 2 or less at the 7th day or discharge was defined as a favorable outcome. The arterial SIGs were measured concurrently in both internal carotid, anterior/middle/posterior cerebral, vertebral arteries, and basilar artery from TOF MRA on initial diagnosis. The independent association between the clinical outcome and cerebral arterial SIG was analyzed adjusting for all the possible potential confounders.
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 families 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.
To determine the effects of mobile application dexteria fine motor skills on hand dexterity and grip strength in chronic stroke patients
Hypothermia with intrajugular cooling is a neuroprotective strategy that has been proven to minimize brain damage and maximize functional preservation in animal models of stroke. The purpose of this proof-of-concept study is to determine the safety and tolerability of intrajugular cooling in patients with acute ischemic stroke who are treated with mechanical thrombectomy.
