Mashup Score: 20
We are living in exciting times for stroke therapy. The past decade has seen many novel, innovative treatments for ischemic stroke 1 and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). 2 Endovascular stroke treatment has revolutionized the field and is one of the most effective therapies in medicine ever. Given the importance of time is brain, recent initiatives are aimed at reducing the door-to-groin puncture time for endovascular treatment by using a one-stop approach bringing suitable patients with a suspected stroke

Mashup Score: 79SUMMIT MAX: A randomized trial of the super large bore HiPoint Reperfusion System versus Vecta System for aspiration thrombectomy | Stroke - 27 day(s) ago
Background: Rapid and complete recanalization is a primary goal in the endovascular treatment of large vessel occlusion stroke. The effectiveness and safety of super large bore aspiration catheters (.088” inner diameter) for the treatment of large vessel occlusion stroke have not been demonstrated in a randomized trial. Methods: SUMMIT MAX was a prospective, randomized, controlled, open label clinical trial of patients with ICA and MCA M1 occlusions, comparing the super large bore HiPoint Reperfusion system (Route 92 Medical) to the Vecta Aspiration system (Stryker Neurovascular) (NCT05018650). We hypothesized that the effectiveness and safety of the HiPoint reperfusion system was non-inferior (12.5% non-inferiority margin) to the Vecta Aspiration system. The primary effectiveness endpoint was successful reperfusion, defined as mTICI ≥ 2b as adjudicated by an independent core lab, using only the assigned study device, with any use of a non-study device prior to or following use of stud

Mashup Score: 19Safety of Adjunctive Intraarterial Tenecteplase Following Mechanical Thrombectomy: The ALLY Pilot Trial | Stroke - 5 month(s) ago
BACKGROUND: Recent studies suggest that the use of adjunctive intraarterial alteplase after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) may improve outcomes; however, there are limited data on the use of intraarterial tenecteplase, a newer-generation lytic, in this acute ischemic stroke patient population. Here, we evaluate the use of intraarterial tenecteplase in the ALLY pilot study (Adjunctive Intraarterial Tenecteplase Following Mechanical Thrombectomy). METHODS: ALLY was a prospective, single-center, nonrandomized pilot study assessing the feasibility and safety of intraarterial tenecteplase up to 4.5 mg in acute ischemic stroke-large vessel occlusion MT patients with incomplete recanalization. The primary safety end point was any intracranial hemorrhage and neurological worsening by ≥4 points on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale within 24 hours of treatment with intraarterial tenecteplase. A post hoc analysis was performed with a control cohort of MT patients (ALLY MT) not receivin
