Data suggests that access to endovascular thrombectomy centers within 15 minutes is limited to less than one-fifth of the population, pointing to a need for improved access and bypass methodologies.

When performed by itself, endovascular therapy had greater rates of intracranial hemorrhage compared to a combination of both endovascular therapy and intravenous thrombolysis.

Phase 2 STOP-AUST data suggest that the antifibrinolytic agent may be able to reduce ICH in spot sign positive patients with stroke when administered within 2 to 3 hours of onset, warranting further study.

New study data from ISC 2020 suggest that patients with stroke can be effectively treated with tenecteplase at a lower dose of 0.25 mg/kg, reducing the need for mechanical clot removal.

Stroke patients experienced higher rates of thrombolysis as well as faster alarm to treatment times when mobile stroke units were present.

The composite primary end point of the study occurred in 9.6% of patients in the lower-target LDL-C group compared with 12.9% in the higher target group.

Despite missing the primary end point, data from a subset of patients suggest that the novel peptide may be beneficial in those who have not received alteplase.

Despite the conventional need for patients to travel to MRI devices, the use of a point-of-care, portable scanner has proven to be a feasible method of acquiring clinically useful images.

Patients 65 and under were more likely to develop seizures following a stroke than older patients.
