- Abstract
The issues of effective treatment of ischemic stroke (IS) are relevant, since it leads to a high percentage of disability and mortality throughout the world. The article presents 4 cases of patients with various pathogenetic variants of IS that developed against the background of a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 (degree of lung damage: CT-0 and CT1). Due to the presence of symptomatic occlusion of a large artery, these patients successfully underwent cerebral angiography followed by mechanical thrombus extraction (MTE), after which a significant improvement in neurological symptoms was observed. Results of the pathohistochemical examination of intraoperative material are presented. Patients were followed-up for 3 months. Despite the successful outcome of MTE in these cases, the impact of COVID-19 on the long-term prognosis of stroke patients after MTE remains to be determined. The results of treatment of patients with IS and COVID-19 who underwent MTE should be presented in larger and preferably prospective and multicenter studies.
