Journal ArticleDOI
Microbubble Administration Accelerates Clot Lysis During Continuous 2-MHz Ultrasound Monitoring in Stroke Patients Treated With Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator
Carlos A. Molina,Marc Ribo,Marta Rubiera,Joan Montaner,Esteban Santamarina,Raquel Delgado-Mederos,Juan F. Arenillas,Rafael Huertas,Francisco Purroy,Pilar Delgado,José Alvarez-Sabín +10 more
TL;DR: Administration of MBs induces further acceleration of US-enhanced thrombolysis in acute stroke, leading to a more complete recanalization and to a trend toward better short- and long-term outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Addition of brain and carotid imaging to the ABCD² score to identify patients at early risk of stroke after transient ischaemic attack: a multicentre observational study.

Giles,Julien Labreuche,Philippa C. Lavallée,Jean-Louis Mas,Jean-Marc Olivot,Francisco Purroy,Peter M. Rothwell,Jeffrey L. Saver,Orla Sheehan,John Stack,Cathal Walsh,Peter J. Kelly +21 more
TL;DR: The ABCD-I score can improve risk stratification after transient ischaemic attack in secondary care settings, however, use of ABCD³ cannot be recommended without further validation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher Risk of Further Vascular Events Among Transient Ischemic Attack Patients With Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Acute Ischemic Lesions
TL;DR: Routine use of DWI and Doppler ultrasonographic examinations will be useful for identifying TIA patients at high risk to plan aggressive prevention therapies and those with large-artery occlusive disease have a higher risk of further vascular events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns and Predictors of Early Risk of Recurrence After Transient Ischemic Attack With Respect to Etiologic Subtypes
TL;DR: The risk of early recurrent stroke is highest in patients with LAA, which supports the need for urgent carotid and transcranial imaging for identifying those patients at highest risk of stroke recurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Five-Year Risk of Stroke after TIA or Minor Ischemic Stroke.

TL;DR: In multivariable analyses, ipsilateral large‐artery atherosclerosis, cardioembolism, and a baseline ABCD2 score for the risk of stroke (range, 0 to 7, with higher scores indicating greater risk) were each associated with an increased risk of subsequent stroke.
