Exploring the Impact of Alteplase and Endovascular Intervention on Acute Ischemic Stroke in Palestine

Introduction

Main Content Sections

Key Findings:

  • Patient Demographics: The study included 56 patients treated with endovascular intervention and alteplase from 2021 to 2022, compared to 138 patients treated with medical care alone between 2018 and 2019.
  • Outcomes: Patients who received alteplase and endovascular therapy showed a 57% improvement in the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, indicating better functional recovery. In contrast, only 32% of those receiving medical care alone showed similar improvements.
  • Mortality: The in-hospital mortality rate was reduced by 6% in the new treatment group compared to the traditional care group.
  • Key Considerations: Despite the promising results, challenges remain, including the availability of diagnostic imaging and rehabilitation services.

Clinical Implications:

  • Improved Outcomes: The introduction of alteplase and endovascular intervention represents a significant step forward in managing acute ischemic stroke in Palestine.
  • Global Impact: These findings align with global research on the benefits of thrombolysis and thrombectomy in ischemic stroke management. Similar studies conducted by leading organizations like the American Heart Association emphasize the importance of timely interventions in stroke care.
