- PreviewWe 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.
