TLDR
CT HMCAS and gradient-echo MRI BA reflect pathology of occlusive thrombus, whereas absence of H MCAS or BA may indicate fibrin-predominant occlusion thrombi.
Abstract
Background and Purpose—The purpose of this study was to provide the first correlative study of the hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (HMCAS) and gradient-echo MRI blooming artifact (BA) with p...

Neutrophil extracellular traps in ischemic stroke thrombi.

TL;DR: This study aimed at investigating the presence of neutrophils and more specifically NETs in ischemic stroke thrombi and found that neutrophil extracellular traps promote thrombus formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clot contraction: compression of erythrocytes into tightly packed polyhedra and redistribution of platelets and fibrin.

TL;DR: It is found that contracted clots develop a remarkable structure, with a meshwork of fibrin and platelet aggregates on the exterior of the clot and a close-packed, tessellated array of compressed polyhedrocytes within.

Thrombus Histology Suggests Cardioembolic Cause in Cryptogenic Stroke

TL;DR: The findings support the notion that the majority of cryptogenic strokes are cardioembolic, and quantitative evaluation of thrombus composition may help to distinguish between different stroke causes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histopathologic composition of cerebral thrombi of acute stroke patients is correlated with stroke subtype and thrombus attenuation.

TL;DR: A correlation between the RBC-component and thrombus attenuation is found, which improves validation of throm Bus attenuation on NCCT as an imaging biomarker for stroke management.

Trial Design and Reporting Standards for Intra-Arterial Cerebral Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke

TL;DR: This document serves to standardize reporting terminology and includes pretreatment assessment, neurologic evaluation with the NIH Stroke Scale score, imaging evaluation, occlusion sites, perfusion grades, follow-up imaging studies, and neurologic assessments, and suggestions for uniform reporting standards for such trials.

The penumbra pivotal stroke trial: safety and effectiveness of a new generation of mechanical devices for clot removal in intracranial large vessel occlusive disease.

TL;DR: The results suggest the Penumbra System allows safe and effective revascularization in patients experiencing ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusive disease who present within 8 hours from symptom onset.

Sensitivity and prognostic value of early CT in occlusion of the middle cerebral artery trunk.

TL;DR: Early CT in acute middle cerebral artery trunk occlusion is highly predictive for fatal clinical outcome if there is extended hypodensity or local brain swelling despite aggressive therapeutic attempts such as thrombolysis or decompressive surgery.
