There is growing interest in thrombus assessment in stroke patients undergoing endovascular therapy to achieve recanalization. The histology of the clot provides information about the composition and the chance of recanalization after reperfusion treatment. For instance, information regarding the perviousness of the thrombus may help decide the best catheter approach to speed up recanalization.
This Research Topic aims to investigate clots retrieved from large vessel occlusions in acute ischemic stroke. 1 in 3 stroke cases have undetermined cause despite workup. Data regarding clot composition (type of cells or immune analysis) in atherothrombotic stroke and cardioembolic stroke would guide advanced workup to detect covered causes of stroke.
Lastly, new technology such as radiomics or impedance measurement could shed light on the behavior of the clot inside the vessel.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
• Clot source and stroke etiology.
• Influence of clot composition to guide endovascular approach.
• Translational technology to assess the composition of thrombus: radiomics, impedance, and others.
• Physical properties of the thrombus that influence recanalization.
We encourage clinical or experimental research. Original Research articles are preferred, however, Reviews and Case Studies that significantly advance the field are also welcomed.
