The Prevalence and Associated Factors of Early Deterioration After Successful Recanalization in Acute Ischemic Stroke

The Prevalence and Associated Factors of Early Neurological Deterioration After Successful Recanalization Treatment in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke

stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. More than half (54.5%) of the 56.9 million deaths worldwide in 2106 were due to the top 10 causes.

Ischemic heart disease and stroke are the world's biggest killers, accounting for a combined 15.2 million deaths in 2106. These diseases have remained the leading causes of death globally in the last 15 years.

Recent clinical trials have shown that endo-vascular thrombectomy is an effective and safe recanalization modality for acute ischemic stroke patients .

Meta-analysis results show that endovascular treatment is associated with a high ratio of successful recanalization rate and a low rate of symptomatic hemorrhage .

Approximately 2.2-37.5% of patients with acute ischemic stroke might encounter early neurological deterioration (END).

Definition of END: An increase in NIHSS ≥4 or an increase in Ia of NIHSS ≥1 within 72 h after recanalization treatment.
