Safety and cost-effectiveness thrombolysis by diffusion-weighted imaging and fluid attenuated inversion recovery mismatch for wake-up stroke.
Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery 2018 July
Wake-up stroke, defined as patients who wake up with stroke symptoms which were not present prior to falling asleep, accounted for 14%-25% of acute ischemic stroke. Due to the unknown time of symptom onset, wake-up stoke was not in including criteria of intravenous thrombolysis. Several large randomized stroke trials using diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI)and fluid attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR)mismatch patient selection may identify a subset of patients with wake-up stroke that can safely and effectively benefit from intravenous thrombolysis. In addition, economic factor was another important limitation to generalize thrombolysis treatment. Fortunately, MRI-based thrombolysis was a cost-effective treatment for wake-up stroke compared to these patients with no thrombolysis.
