Perfusion and Diffusion Variables Predict Early Neurological Deterioration in Minor Stroke and Large Vessel Occlusion

Dong-Seok Gwak et al.

Summary: This study identified Tmax >6 seconds, Tmax >6 seconds - DWI, and Tmax 4-6 seconds as the optimal imaging variables for predicting early neurological deterioration in patients with mild stroke due to large vessel occlusion, independently associated with an increased risk of END.

Predictors of Outcomes in Patients With Mild Ischemic Stroke Symptoms MaRISS

Jose G. Romano et al.

Summary: The study found that most patients with mild strokes had poor outcomes in the study. The primary outcome was a 90-day modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 1, with secondary outcomes including good outcomes in the Barthel Index, Stroke Impact Scale-16, and European Quality of Life. Factors such as age, gender, race, and baseline NIHSS score were identified as predictors of worse outcomes.

Thrombolysis in Mild Stroke A Comparative Analysis of the PRISMS and MaRISS Studies

Negar Asdaghi et al.

Summary: The distribution of NIHSS scores differed between patients treated with alteplase and those not treated in the MaRISS registry, while patients in the PRISMS trial had similar symptom severity to those not receiving alteplase treatment in MaRISS and lesser severity than patients treated with alteplase in MaRISS. The PRISMS trial cohort represents mild stroke patients who do not receive alteplase in current clinical practice.

Treatment Challenges in Acute Minor Ischemic Stroke

Diana Slawski et al.

Summary: Patients with acute ischemic stroke may have minor neurologic deficits, and decisions on acute treatment depend on the disability from symptoms, radiographic features, and the need for intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular therapy. Identifying patients at risk for neurologic deterioration is crucial for preventing poor outcomes.

Minor Non-Disabling Stroke Patients with Large Vessel Severe Stenosis or Occlusion Might Benefit from Thrombolysis

Wansi Zhong et al.

Summary: Alteplase treatment did not show significant efficacy in general minor non-disabling stroke patients, but was effective in specific patients with severe stenosis/occlusion of large vessels.

European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guidelines on intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke

Eivind Berge et al.

Summary: Intravenous thrombolysis is the approved systemic reperfusion treatment for acute ischaemic stroke patients, with the ESO guidelines providing evidence-based recommendations. The guidelines highlight the importance of timely thrombolysis within 4.5 hours for improving functional outcomes, and recommend its use for specific patient subgroups such as those waking from sleep.
