Can a clinical score aid in early diagnosis and treatment of various stroke syndromes?
Our results suggest that SSS is not reliable in distinguishing stroke types (in a US population). Definite neuroimaging studies are needed prior to thrombolytic therapy.
The pressure along clamp jaws is unequally distributed in all the currently available vascular clamps. The Chitwood clamp is associated with the highest maximum pressure during complete aortic occlusion and with the most unequal pressure distribution along the jaws.
