Overview

Ischemic stroke accounts for a relatively high proportion of strokes. In recent years, intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular therapy have significantly improved the revascularization rate in patients with large vessel occlusive cerebral infarction, but 20-50% of patients still experience ineffective revascularization. Therefore, postoperative monitoring and treatment of patients with large vessel occlusions is crucial for early recognition, management and prevention of complications. Stress ulcer bleeding is a serious complication after acute ischemic stroke, with a prevalence of 1%-5%, and a previously proven incidence of stress ulcer bleeding after ischemic stroke. Stress ulcer bleeding after ischemic stroke has been shown to be closely associated with unfavorable outcomes, such as mortality. Current national and international guidelines or consensus on the prevention of stress ulcers after acute ischemic stroke do not advocate the routine use of histamine receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors for the prevention of stress ulcers, but rather should be considered in the context of the patient's risk factors for stress ulcers and discontinued after the patient initiates enteral nutrition. However, there is no evidence-based medical evidence to support the risk-benefit relationship of stress ulcer drug prophylaxis in patients with mechanical thrombectomy for acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion.

Description

Stress ulcer bleeding is a serious complication after acute ischemic stroke, with a prevalence of 1%-5%, of which only 0.5%-1% require blood transfusion or result in hypotension. Stress ulcer bleeding after ischemic stroke has been shown to be associated with poor outcomes, such as mortality, and basilar artery occlusion and middle cerebral artery cerebral infarction are independent risk factors for stress ulcer bleeding after acute ischemic stroke. Guidelines or consensus on the prevention of stress ulcers after acute ischemic stroke do not advocate the routine use of histamine receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors for stress ulcer prevention.

However, stress ulcer prophylaxis is initiated in most patients admitted to the neurological intensive care unit after mechanical embolization of acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion. With advances such as diagnosis and early initiation of enteral nutrition, the rate of stress ulcer bleeding in patients with mechanical embolization of acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion is significantly reduced. The relationship between the risk and benefit of SUP in patients undergoing mechanical embolization for acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion is not yet supported by evidence-based medical evidence. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between pharmacological stress ulcer prophylaxis and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
