Primary results of treatment of hyper acute ischemia by thrombus retrieve with Solitaire devices associated with intra-arterial fibrolytic with rtPA: Report of 2 cases
Main Article Content
Abstract
Brain ischemia accounts for 85% of brain stroke and this is 3rd leading cause of mortality or mobility in the world. The treatment of hyper acute ischemia by intravenous infusion of fibrolytic (rtPA) has been recently progressive. However, this indication is only selected for the patient coming early during first 3 hours after onset and it also gets some limitations in cases of main artery occlusion. The super selective endovascular treatment of brain ischemia by using thrombus retrieve device (solitaire) associated with fibrolytic (rtPA) has been confirmed to be increased the rate of recanalization and good outcome recently. We want to report our 2 cases of treatment of hyper acute ischemia by clot retrieve with Solitaire devices and fibrolytic with rtPA and review the literature.
