Flying Intervention Team for Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Rural Areas (FIT)
Study Overview

Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
A novel health care concept was implemented in the telemedical stroke network TEMPiS (Telemedical Project for integrative Stroke Care) to reduce time delays to EVT in stroke patients with large vessel occlusion: After telemedicine-assisted identification of EVT candidates in a PSC, a Flying Intervention Team (neuroradiologist and angiography assistant) is flown from a CSC via helicopter to the PSC to perform EVT in the local angiography suite. Flying Intervention Team service runs from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Patients remain at local stroke unit for further treatment.
Analysis will include time delay to EVT, recanalization, symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage, periprocedural complications, in-hospital complications, and mortality.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
EVT by Flying Intervention Team in primary stroke center
Patients with ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion admitted to a primary stroke center, for whom a Flying Intervention Team is flown to the primary stroke center in order to perform endovascular treatment.
|
After telemedicine-assisted decision for endovascular treatment, the Flying Intervention Team is transferred via helicopter to the primary stroke center and performs endovascular treatment in the local angiography suite.
|
EVT after secondary transfer to comprehensive stroke center
Patients with ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion admitted to a primary stroke center, who are transferred to a comprehensive stroke center for endovascular treatment.
