Jul 4, 2023 · Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular therapy (EVT) are both important treatments for large‐vessel occlusion stroke. However, it is still unclear how the timing of IVT, EVT, and the need for transfer of a patient to an endovascular stroke center for …

The aim of this study was to determine outcome of ischemic stroke patients in the anterior circulation treated with endovascular treatment (EVT) with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) versus EVT alone group. A systemic literature review was performed ...

May 29, 2019 · It is unclear whether intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with alteplase before endovascular treatment (EVT) is beneficial for patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by a large vessel occlusion.

May 15, 2024 · We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and safety of bridging IVT in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion who underwent EVT 6 to 24 hours after time last known well.

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has become a standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke patients caused by a large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation (1 – 3).

Endovascular therapy (EVT) is an intra-arterial method that uses catheter-guided devices to assist restoration of blood flow in an occluded vessel.

Jan 26, 2025 · The IVT+EVT group had a higher rate of 90-day functional independence (mRS 0–2; OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.31 to 1.87; adjusted OR (aOR) 1.43, 95% CI 1.21 to 1.68) and 90-day functional outcome (mRS 0–3; OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.62; aOR 1.18, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.37) compared with EVT alone.

4 days ago · Patients with secondary MeVOs were more likely to receive IVT prior to EVT compared to patients with primary MeVOs (66% versus 40%) but we cannot assess if the IVT therapy was completed, halted, or continued during the EVT procedure. The higher IVT rates may have contributed to the numerically higher incidence of any postoperative intracranial ...

Apr 30, 2024 · Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is the standard treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO). However, the efficacy and safety of IVT before EVT in AIS-LVO patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains controversial.

Mar 26, 2021 · Researchers found no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Primary outcomes were similar, with subjects who recorded a mRS of 0–2 in the IVT plus EVT group making up 51.1%, and in the direct EVT group, this was 49.1%.
