Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent landmark trials provided evidence supporting endovascular stroke treatment for patients with large ischemic cores. These trials are expected to change international guidelines of stroke thrombectomy. Currently, further ongoing trials investigate the potential benefit of endovascular treatment for distal medium-vessel occlusions, or in the setting of only minor clinical deficits (i.e., low NIHSS). Additionally, neuroprotectants are currently tested as potential complementary treatment options in subgroups of patients with acute ischemic stroke. On the other hand, developments in imaging techniques such as photon-counting CT can improve imaging triage, patient selection, and outcome prediction.
In this context, imaging-based pathophysiological features contribute to understanding the importance of patient-specific treatment decision making. The primary objective is to expand the number of patients eligible for treatment, moving away from the restrictive reliance on rigid criteria for treatment selection.
This Special Issue aims at presenting recent advances in the development of new diagnostic approaches in stroke imaging. Research data, new ideas, and discussions of promising interventions and techniques to influence the treatment response associated with ischemic stroke will be considered. Original papers, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses are welcome.
