Abstract:
Neuroendovascular rescue of patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by a large arterial occlusion has evolved throughout the first quarter of the present century, and continues to do so. Starting with the intra-arterial instillation of thrombolytic agents via microcatheters to dissolve occluding thromboembolic material, the current status is one that includes a variety of different techniques such as direct aspiration of thrombus, removal by stent retriever, adjuvant techniques such as balloon angioplasty, stenting, and tactical intra-arterial instillation of thrombolytic agents in smaller branches to treat no-reflow phenomenon. The results have been consistently shown to benefit these patients, irrespective of whether they had already received intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator or not. Improved imaging methods of patient selection and tactically optimized periprocedural care measures complement this dimension of the practice of neurointervention.

Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...
