Mechanical thrombectomy beyond 6 hours for acute ischemic strokes due to M2 occ...
Pereira Coutinho, Maria; Galego, Sofia; Alves, Marta; Papoila, Ana; Fragata, Isabel; Papoila, A.L.; Paiva Nunes, AnaBackground: The time frame for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is enlarging. Guidelines recommend MT until 6 h of symptom onset in M2 segment occlusions (grade IIB). In practice, it is frequently performed later. Aims: To assess the functional prognosis of AIS patients subjected to M2 segment's MT beyond 6 h, compared to standard intervention. Methods: Retrospective cohort study incl...

Predictors of Functional Outcome After Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage Comp...
Tsivgoulis, Georgios; Palaiodimou, Lina; Stefanou, Maria-Ioanna; Theodorou, Aikaterini; Kõrv, Janika; Paiva Nunes, Ana; Candelaresi, PaoloBackground and purpose: Several risk factors of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) following intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke have been established. However, potential predictors of good functional outcome post-SICH have been less studied. Methods: Patient data registered in the Safe Implementation of Treatment in Stroke-International Stroke Thrombolysis Register (SITS-ISTR) from 200...
Gender Differences in Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment
Taulaigo, Anna; Pedro, Bárbara; Mariano, Marisa; Paiva Nunes, AnaIntroduction: In order to personalize stroke treatment, it is important to know if there are differences between genders in clinical features, acute phase treatment and outcomes.
