Traditional Chinese medicine theoretical mechanism of blood-activating and stasis-resolving therapy combined with thrombolysis/thrombectomy in improving clinical efficacy
Thrombolysis/thrombectomy treatment is an emergency medical intervention for patients with acute ischemic stroke.Its core purpose is to reduce brain tissue damage and improve patient prognosis by restoring blood flow to the brain,which is significantly advantageous in timely restoring blood flow to the brain and reducing post-stroke sequelae.However,research shows that even with successful thrombolysis/thrombectomy treatment,some patients may still experience re-occlusion of the target vessel,leading to secondary damage and worsening of the condition.This study retrospectively examined clinical,experimental,and theoretical aspects of thrombolysis/thrombectomy in both traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and western medicine,and analyzed the characteristics of blood-activating and stasis-resolving therapy in different stages of thrombolysis/thrombectomy and the synergistic mechanism of different types of blood-activating and stasis-resolving drugs with thrombolysis/thrombectomy in combination of previous clinical studies by the research team.Furthermore,the"vessel hyperactivity"characteristics embodied by Yang vessel irritability and Yin vessel stagnation was explained,revealing the TCM mechanism by which blood-activating TCM drugs reduce the incidence of vessel re-occlusion after thrombolysis/thrombectomy through multiple targets and pathways from a theoretical perspective.It also explored how blood-activating and stasis-resolving drugs promoted the excretion of pathological products such as phlegm,fluid,stasis,and toxins from damaged brain tissue,enhanced self-repair of damaged brain tissue,and accelerated the reconstruction of the brain by facilitating the transformation of Qi,blood,and essence within the body.This study aims to deeply elucidate the TCM theoretical mechanism of blood-activating and stasis-resolving therapy in reducing the occurrence of"cerebral infarction and vascular re-occlusion"during thrombolysis/thrombectomy,which holds significant theoretical and practical significance.
