Clinical Outcome after Intra-Arterial Stroke Therapy in the Very Elderly: Why is it so Heterogeneous?
Chandra, Ronil V.; Leslie-Mazwi, Thabele M.; Mehta, Brijesh P.; Yoo, Albert J.; Simonsen, Claus Z. (Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)Very elderly patients (i.e., ≥80 years) are disproportionally affected by acute ischemic stroke. They account for a third of hospital stroke admissions, but two-thirds of overall stroke-related morbidity and mortality. ... -
Delayed Endovascular Coil Extrusion following Internal Carotid Artery Embolization
Dedmon, Matthew; Meier, Josh; Chambers, Kyle; Remenschneider, Aaron; Mehta, Brijesh; Lin, Derrick; Yoo, Albert J.; Curry, William; Gray, Stacey (Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2014)Internal carotid artery injury is a rare and devastating complication of endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery that has an associated mortality rate of 15%. This case describes a patient who developed massive epistaxis ... -
Door‐to‐Puncture: A Practical Metric for Capturing and Enhancing System Processes Associated With Endovascular Stroke Care, Preliminary Results From the Rapid Reperfusion Registry
Sun, Chung‐Huan J.; Ribo, Marc; Goyal, Mayank; Yoo, Albert J.; Jovin, Tudor; Cronin, Carolyn A.; Zaidat, Osama; Nogueira, Raul; Nguyen, Thanh; Hussain, M. Shazam; Menon, Bijoy K.; Mehta, Brijesh; Jindal, Gaurav; Horev, Anat; Norbash, Alexander; Leslie‐Mazwi, Thabele; Wisco, Dolora; Gupta, Rishi (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)Background: In 2011, the Brain Attack Coalition proposed door‐to‐treatment times of 2 hours as a benchmark for patients undergoing intra‐arterial therapy (IAT). We designed the Rapid Reperfusion Registry to capture the ... -
Predictors of Functional Outcome Vary by the Hemisphere of Involvement in Major Ischemic Stroke Treated with Intra-arterial Therapy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Yoo, Albert J.; Romero, Javier M.; Hakimelahi, Reza; Nogueira, Raul Gomes; Rabinov, James D.; Pryor, Johnny Craig; González, R Gilberto; Hirsch, Joshua A.; Schaefer, Pamela Whitney (BioMed Central, 2010)Background: Conflicting data exists regarding the effect of hemispheric lateralization on acute ischemic stroke outcome. Some of this variability may be related to heterogeneous study populations, particularly with respect ... -
Rapid identification of a major diffusion/perfusion mismatch in distal internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke
Hakimelahi, Reza; Yoo, Albert J.; He, Julian; Schwamm, Lee H.; Lev, Michael Howard; Schaefer, Pamela Whitney; González, Ramon Gilberto (BioMed Central, 2012)Background: We tested the hypothesis that in patients with occlusion of the terminal internal carotid artery and/or the proximal middle cerebral artery, a diffusion abnormality of 70 ml or less is accompanied by a ... -
Time and Diffusion Lesion Size in Major Anterior Circulation Ischemic Strokes
Hakimelahi, R.; Vachha, Behroze Adi; Copen, William Alan; Papini, G. D. E.; He, J.; Higazi, Mahmoud Mohamad Mounir Ali; Lev, Michael Howard; Schaefer, Pamela Whitney; Yoo, Albert J.; Schwamm, Lee H.; Gonzalez, Ramon Gilberto (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2014)Background: Major anterior circulation ischemic strokes caused by occlusion of the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) or proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA) or both account for about one-third of ischemic strokes with ...
