Botulinum neurotoxin as early treatment in acute-onset lesional hemiballism

Hemiballism (HB) and hemichorea (HC) are the most frequent secondary movement disorders, usually caused by cerebrovascular diseases. In only a minority of cases, these involuntary movements are not self-limite...

Thrombectomy in ischemic stroke patients with tandem occlusion in the posterior versus anterior circulation

Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) was found to be beneficial in acute ischemic stroke patients with anterior tandem occlusion (a-TO). Instead, little is known about the effectiveness of MT in stroke patients with p...

Association between procedural time and outcome in unsuccessful mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke: analysis from the Italian Registry of Endovascular Treatment in Acute Stroke

We aim to assess the association between procedural time and outcomes in patients in unsuccessful mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for anterior circulation acute stroke.

IV thrombolysis plus thrombectomy versus IV thrombolysis alone for minor stroke with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion from the IRETAS and Italian SITS-ISTR cohorts

The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) <4.5 h after symptom onset plus mechanical thrombectomy (MT) <6 h with those treated with IVT alone <4....

Mechanical thrombectomy in patients with heart failure: the Italian registry of Endovascular Treatment in Acute Stroke

Heart failure (HF) is the second most important cardiac risk factor for stroke after atrial fibrillation (AF). Few data are available on mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients wit...

Stroke with large vessel occlusion in the posterior circulation: IV thrombolysis plus thrombectomy versus IV thrombolysis alone

Efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for stroke with posterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO) is still under debate. We aimed to compare the outcomes of stroke patients with posterior ...

Direct thrombectomy for stroke in the presence of absolute exclusion criteria for thrombolysis

Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT)-ineligible patients undergoing direct thrombectomy tended to have poorer functional outcome as compared with IVT-eligible patients undergoing bridging therapy. We aimed to assess...
