A series of small uncontrolled and controlled studies earlier supported the notion that recanalization could improve the outcome of ischemic stroke. However, it is really important to evaluate clinical aspects of recanalization and to assess variables like predictors, and prognostic importance associated with stroke-related recanalization after IV thrombolysis. This is a synopsis of a research article recently published in a leading journal from American Heart/Stroke Association.
A recent research published in the journal Stroke (American Heart Association) aimed at assessing the impact of recanalization on outcome in patients with baseline Diffusion Weighted Imaging, DWI (An imaging method to assess the size of infarct core) lesion ≥70 mL (DWI≥70 mL) treated ≤4.5 hours from onset. According to established idea, larger DWI lesion is an independent predictor of poor outcome in patients…
