Abstract:Background
In patients with acute cardiogenic cerebral embolism, a residual thrombus may still be present in the cardiac cavity even after reperfusion therapy. We aimed to investigate the occurrence of a residual cardiac thrombus in cardioembolic stroke after reperfusion therapy and analyze its impact on clinical outcome.
Methods and Results
We enrolled patients with cardioembolic stroke from our prospectively collected database who under… Show more
