Clinical Advances in Hemorrhagic Transformation after Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke due to Large Vessel Occlusion
Mechanical thrombectomy is the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation within 24 hours of onset,and hemorrhagic transformation is the most common and serious complication,which not only increases the length of hospital stay,but also leads to a poor prognosis and negates the benefits of mechanical thrombectomy.Therefore,it is of great importance to scientifically understand this complication.Recently,domestic and foreign scholars have carried out extensive investigations on the hemorrhagic transformation after mechanical thrombectomy.In this paper,the definition,classification,incidence,risk factors,prevention and management of hemorrhagic transformation were reviewed based on domestic and foreign literatures.
