1. Endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke
Sammanfattning : Background: Intravenous thrombolysis is effective in patients with minor stroke but not in patients with moderate or major stroke due to large vessel occlusion. Endovascular stroke treatment offers a high recanalization rate, which is associated with favorable neurological outcome. LÄS MER
2. Mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this doctoral thesis was to study the outcome and safety of mechanical thrombectomy, which is an endovascular technique for treating moderate to severe acute ischemic stroke caused by a large cerebral artery occlusion. The technique has been developed over the last two decades. LÄS MER
3. Optimizing thrombectomy and the patient in acute ischemic stroke
Sammanfattning : Background: Endovascular stroke treatment offers acute stroke patient a high recanalization rate with a good chance of regaining independent functional outcomes. However up to half of such patients continue to have poor functional outcomes, and the aim of the project was to find ways to improve the rate of good outcomes. LÄS MER
4. Optimizing prehospital acute stroke care in the presence of economic constraints
Sammanfattning : Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has become standard of care for acute anterior circulation ischaemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion since the launch of second-generation stent retrievers for clinical use nearly a decade ago. Up until recently, the treatment was exclusively performed at university hospitals in Sweden. LÄS MER
5. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in the treatment of symptomatic portal hypertension
Sammanfattning : Portal hypertension (PHT) is a condition with serious complications, such as variceal bleeding, refractory ascites and bowel ischemia. The cause of PHT may be pre-, intra- or post-hepatic. Initial treatment is pressure-reducing drugs and the treatment of acute symptoms. LÄS MER
