OBJECTIVES: To report the technical success and clinical outcomes of @entity1212 ( @entity1212 ) for acute @entity385 in @entity1 ineligible for intravenous thrombolysis. BACKGROUND: Acute @entity385 is common but undertreated. @entity1212 for acute @entity385 is a therapeutic option in selected @entity1 who are not candidates for intravenous thrombolysis. METHODS: Consecutive @entity64 @entity1 who were ineligible for intravenous thrombolysis and underwent @entity1212 were identified by retrospective chart review. Demographic information, National Institutes of Health @entity64 Scale (NIHSS), procedural characteristics, and clinical outcomes during hospitalization and at 90 days follow up were collected. Experienced interventional cardiologists with the consultative support of @entity64 neurologists were on call for @entity64 . RESULTS: A total of 33 acute @entity385 @entity1 underwent emergency cerebral angiography, with 26 @entity1 undergoing @entity1212 . Successful "culprit" artery recanalization was achieved in 23 (88%) of the 26 @entity1 . In-hospital adverse events occurred in 4 (15%) @entity1 , with @entity1779 ( @entity1779 ) (12%) representing the most common adverse event. The baseline NIHSS for @entity1 who underwent intervention was 16.5 +/- 9.9 (median 16) and improved significantly to 9.9 +/- 8.7 (median 9) (P < 0.001) at hospital discharge. A modified Rankin score of two or less (indicating mild disability) was achieved in half (n = 13) of the @entity1212 treated @entity1 . All cause mortality at 90 days was 8% (2/26). CONCLUSIONS: In selected @entity1 , @entity1212 provided by qualified interventional cardiologists supported by @entity64 neurologists, offers a safe and effective option for @entity1 with @entity64 who are not eligible for intravenous thrombolysis.
