"CTP-estimated salvageable NIHSS" is a simple metric to predict the reversible neurological deficits in ischemic #stroke--i.e., how much the patient can improve following Recanalization. Johanna Ospel Alexander Stebner Mayank Goyal j-stroke.org/journal/view.p…



"Extended" CT angiography that includes cardiac and aortic imaging was shown in this RCT of 465 acute AIS/TIA patients to increase the yield of detecting a cardiac or aortic thrombus from 1.7% to 8.8%. Why not? The Lancet Neurology thelancet.com/journals/laneu…

📣New paper by Umberto Pensato MD 🇮🇹 🇨🇦 on the #leaky core in acute #stroke🩸🧠 DCNS Calgary ▶️Severe hypoperfusion and time affect risk of hemorrhage ▶️BUT: No multiplicative interaction between the two ▶️their effects on hemorrhage risk are additive, not synergistic. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…


Just Accepted! 🧠Study finds hemorrhagic transformation was associated with: ⏲️Onset-to-imaging time 🩸Presence of severe hypoperfusion ❌No interaction found between time & severe hypoperfusion Read more below👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… Umberto Pensato MD 🇮🇹 🇨🇦 Johanna Ospel, MD PhD AshuJadhav

We introduce the "#leakycore"--where the ischemic damage is so severe that reperfusion is not only useless but potentially harmful. Prolonged and severe hypoperfusion are keys. #stroke International Journal of Stroke World Stroke Org Johanna Ospel, MD PhD Mayank Goyal AshuJadhav journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
