Abstract:
Introduction
According to WHO, globally, 70% of strokes and 87% of both stroke-related
deaths and disability occur in low-and middle-income countries. The stroke
incidence in low-and middle-income countries has more than doubled.
Despite progress in prevention and treatment, stroke is still a devastating
problem.
Purpose
As mechanical thrombectomy is the gold standart in acute stroke treatment
in eligible patients. The scope of this study is to share the results of a series
of cases that underwent reperfusion therapy in the angiographic suite of
Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery „D. Gherman”.
Material and methods
The study represents a series of patients who underwent mechanical
thrombectomy for the treatment of acute stroke. Methods include Stent
retrievers and thrombaspiration devices. The results were classified based
on TICI and mRS scores.
Conclusions
Limited number of thrombectomies were performed due to the lack of
systematization of patient referral to the specialized institutions in Moldova
and is a key point that needs attention. Also, more practice to the surgeon, will
allow better outcomes for the patients.
