Importance Direct transfer to angiography suite (DTAS) for patients with suspected large
vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke has been described as an effective and safe measure to …

Importance The NAVIGATE ESUS randomized clinical trial found that 15 mg of rivaroxaban
per day does not reduce stroke compared with aspirin in patients with embolic stroke of …

Background Identifying infarct core on admission is essential to establish the amount of
salvageable tissue and indicate reperfusion therapies. Infarct core is established on CT …

Background and aim During endovascular procedures for acute ischemic stroke, catheter
access to the occluded vessel may be technically difficult or impossible. The aim of this study …

Background and Purpose—Good collateral pial circulation (CPC) predicts a favorable
outcome in patients undergoing intra-arterial procedures. We aimed to determine if CPC …

Background and Purpose—Substantial proportion of patients who achieve successful
recanalization of acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion do not achieve good …

Background and Purpose—Time to reperfusion is fundamental in reducing morbidity and
mortality in acute stroke. We aimed to demonstrate that direct transfer to angio-suite (DTAS) …

Background and Purpose—The effect of tissue-type plasminogen activator on functional
outcome decreases progressively over time. However, given the differential pattern of …

Background and Purpose—Aortic arch atherosclerosis (AAA) is a possible source of
embolism in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source. Previous studies reported …

Objective To evaluate direct transfer to the angiosuite protocol of patients with acute stroke,
candidates for endovascular treatment (EVT). Methods We studied workflow metrics of all …
