A case report describes mechanical thrombectomy performed 28 hours after stroke onset, guided by CT perfusion showing salvageable tissue, with marked neurologic recovery at discharge.

Including cardiac CT in the initial hyperacute stroke imaging protocol gives a higher yield for detecting high-risk cardioaortic sources of embolism than the current practice of performing later ...

A “simple adjustment” to routine CT angiography (CTA) in patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in emergency departments could dramatically enhance diagnosis. By extending ...

In a recent narrative review published in BMJ Medicine, researchers summarized the current evidence on advancements in mechanical thrombectomy (MT), a ground-breaking treatment for acute ischaemic ...
