What this condition is
What is an ischemic stroke?A stroke happens when there is a loss of blood flow to part of the brain. Your brain cells cannot get the oxygen and nutrients they need from blood, and they start to die within a few minutes. This can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or even death.There are two main types of strokes, ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic stroke is the more common type. An ischemic stroke hap…

Remote Ischemic Conditioning for Acute Ischemic Stroke Treated With Mechanical Thrombectomy（RECAST-MT）
For patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion, endovascular thrombectomy has been demonstrated to be the most effective therapy, as approximately 90% of the occluded vessels can be recanalized. However, less than…
A Randomized Trial of Imaging Selection Modalities for Stroke Thrombectomy (NO-SELECT)
Several studies suggest that advanced multi-modal imaging with CTP should be used to screen late time window stroke patients for thrombectomy. However, NCCT is more accessible when comparing with CTP. It is unclear whether the NCCT-based A…

Transient Ischemic Attack
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a stroke that lasts only a few minutes. It happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is briefly blocked. Symptoms of a TIA are like other stroke symptoms, but do not last as long. They happen suddenly, and include:Numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the bodyConfusion or trouble speaking or understanding speechTrouble seeing in one or both eyesDifficulty walki…
Blood Clots
What is a blood clot?A blood clot is a mass of blood that forms when platelets, proteins, and cells in the blood stick together. When you get hurt, your body forms a blood clot to stop the bleeding. After the bleeding stops and healing takes place, your body usually breaks down and removes the blood clot. But sometimes the blood clots form where they shouldn't, your body makes too many blood clots or abnormal blood…
