Thrombus perviousness is strongly associated with functional outcome and intravenous alteplase treatment success in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Accuracy of thrombus attenuation increase (TAI) assessment may be compromised by a heterogeneous thrombus composition and in ...
Purpose: Thrombus perviousness has been associated with favorable functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Measuring thrombus perviousness on CTA may be suboptimal due to potential delay in contrast agent arrival in occluded arteries at the moment of imaging ...
Background and Purpose-Preclinical studies showed that thrombi can be permeable and may, therefore, allow for residual blood flow in occluded arteries of patients having acute ischemic stroke. This perviousness may increase tissue oxygenation, improve thrombus dissolution, and ...
Background and Purpose - Preclinical studies showed that thrombus permeability improves recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (r-tPA) efficacy. We hypothesize that thrombus permeability estimated from radiological imaging is associated with improved recanalization afte ...
