Objective: To identify factors associated with early angiographic reperfusion improvement (EARI) following intra-arterial fibrinolytics (IAF) after failed or incomplete mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Methods: A subset of patients treated with MT and I...

In this case report, we present the case of a 17-year-old stroke patient suffering from coronavirus disease (COVID)-19. He was successfully treated with intravenous and endovascular treatment. After extensive work-up, a hypercoagulable state due to t...

Since antiquity, the interaction of brain and heart has inspired physicians and philosophers. Today, our knowledge has vastly improved, but the exact way of their interaction still holds many secrets to reveal. The interaction between brain and heart...

Imaging diagnosis of nonatheromatous carotid artery disease is challenging due to its low prevalence in contrast to that of atheromatous disease. Congenital anomalies are frequently discovered incidentally, as the chronicity of these conditions allow...

In the last decades, there has been great progress in the field of stroke. With the introduction of acute therapies (intravenous thrombolysis and intra-arterial treatment), the outcome after stroke has improved significantly. Better prevention, impro...

In acute ischemic stroke, intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and acute endovascular therapy (EVT) have been shown to reduce long-term disability in randomized trials. International guidelines are partially not up to date and may not address situations fo...

Background: Carotid artery stenosis is an important cause for stroke. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) reduces the risk of stroke in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis and to some extent in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis. More than 2...

Current treatment for acute ischemic stroke aims at recanalizing the occluded blood vessel to reperfuse ischemic brain tissue. Clot removal can be achieved pharmacologically with a thrombolytic drug, such as recombinant tissue plasminogen activator,...

Acute stroke treatment has advanced substantially over the last years. Important milestones constitute intravenous thrombolysis, endovascular therapy (EVT), and treatment of stroke patients in dedicated units (stroke units). At present in Switzerland...

Despite a difficult year focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic, from 7 November to 8 November, stroke clinicians and researchers experienced a great opportunity to learn about the latest research results and developments across the entire care spectrum....
