We read with much interest the article “Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment in Infective
Endocarditis: Systemic Review” by Bettencourt et al, published in your esteemed journal.
Authors have reviewed 37 articles including 52 patients. Sixteen of whom received
IV thrombolysis, 22 received mechanical thrombectomy, 11 received combined treatment.
The authors stated that the quality of the articles were low. And have concluded that
the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage was 4 times higher in the group treated with
IV thrombolysis comparing to the group treated with thrombectomy.

- Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment in Infective Endocarditis: Systematic ReviewJournal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular DiseasesVol. 29Issue 4
- PreviewBackground: Ischemic stroke is a frequent neurologic complication of infective endocarditis. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of thrombectomy in comparison to thrombolysis and to combined treatment in patients with infective endocarditis associated acute ischemic stroke. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The review included case reports, cases series, cross-sectional studies, case control studies, randomized controlled trials or nonrandomized controlled trials, which reported the treatment of endocarditis-related acute ischemic stroke with mechanical thrombectomy, intravenous or intra-arterial thrombolysis in adult patients.
