Supervivencia a largo plazo del ictus isquémico

The problem of underdosing with direct-acting oral anticoagulants in elderly patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation

Trombectomía mecánica: técnica de primera elección en el tratamiento ictus isquémico agudo. Análisis de beneficios y resultados

“…Se han asociado a un mejor pronóstico, la afectación del territorio de la arteria cerebral media derecha y el tratamiento con estatinas. Los ECV anteriores, así como ataques isquémicos transitorios (AIT) son predictores de mortalidad [2][3] . La etiología del ictus isquémico también es otro factor que afecta el pronóstico 1 .…”
