Developing an adjunct therapy to mechanical thrombectomy in a murine model of stroke ischaemia reperfusion injury
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is increasingly used to treat ischaemic stroke as it allows for more rapid and complete reperfusion of the ischaemic tissue compared to recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) alone. The advancements in imaging techniques, together with MT, have extended the …

Outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy at a single-centre tertiary level public health care hospital in South Africa
Introduction: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is standard of care for acute ischemic stroke from large vessel occlusion following randomized controlled trials performed largely in high-income countries. Limited data exists on its effectiveness in the real-world setting, particularly in low- and …

Barriers to acute stroke care at a tertiary hospital in the Western Cape
… intravenous thrombolysis and none received mechanical thrombectomy. Conclusion: There majority of the patients who arrived at GSH early after symptom onset used their own private transport and lived close to hospital. Pre-hospital barriers were failure to recognize symptoms, patients hoping …

NEUROPROTECTIVE THERAPIES CENTRED ON POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATIONS BY SUMOYLATION
… the world. However, beyond thrombolysis/mechanical thrombectomy we possess few effective therapies that are able to modulate the pathogenesis of evolving ischemic brain injury. The paucity of therapeutic options stands in stark contrast to the intensity of research efforts/number of …

The Impact of Hyperglycemia on Post-Reperfusion Outcomes in Patients with Hyperacute Ischemic Stroke
… with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and mechanical thrombectomy, has significantly improved functional outcomes for ischemic stroke patients. However, hyperglycemia at the time of hospital arrival is associated with worse outcomes, including increased infarct growth, higher rates of …

Advantages and Limitations of Anesthesia and Sedation Practices Used Among Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients during Endovascular Revascularization Therapy
<p>In order to safely and efficiently perform endovascular revascularization procedures among acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients, general anesthesia or sedation is often required. However, anesthesia management during these procedures varies significantly worldwide and the procedural logistics …
