Ischaemic stroke

Find all the latest content on ischaemic stroke published on this website.

Along with heart disease, stroke has been called one of the most common causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Constantly evolving tools, devices, imaging modalities and techniques, supported by a series of recent trials, points to endovascular interventions as a viable method for treating ischaemic stroke when performed in a timely fashion. Here you can keep up-to-date with this fast changing topic including articles on adjunctive pharmacotherapy, vascular access and bleeding risks…

Edoxaban for thromboembolism prevention in pediatric patients with cardiac disease

30 Nov 2022

Pediatric patients requiring anticoagulation are a rare but extremely complex subgroup, with congenital (univentricular circulation, Fontan circulation, venous-to-systemic shunts) or acquired diseases (Kawasaki disease), which represents a therapeutic and logistic challenge.
