Computed Tomography Perfusion (CTP) is a rapidly acquired minimally invasive mean to assess brain perfusion dynamics, collaterals and infarct growth in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). It helps differentiate expected stroke evolution and speed of core growth after arterial occlusion. The goals of...

Stroke, a reduction in blood flow to the brain, activates various proteins that contribute to neuronal death. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), specifically MMP2 and MMP9, are important in maintaining the blood brain barrier (BBB). After a stroke the BBB permeability increases which is...

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke are at high risk for stroke recurrence. Early anticoagulation may reduce the risk of recurrent events but is usually avoided due to the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT). The risk of HT is based on historical data from an older...
