Abstract:BACKGROUND:
Endovascular thrombectomy has changed the management of ischemic stroke. The reperfusion can however lead to a hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a surgical procedure used for malignant ischemic stroke. However, its efficacy was demonstrated before the era of endovascular thrombectomy trials. Here, we hypothesized that DC for ischemic stroke after thrombectomy could lead to a higher risk of HT. We thus evaluated this hypothesis in a mouse model of stroke … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
