Introduction: Knowledge of the implementation gap would facilitate the use of intravenous thrombolysis in stroke, which is still low in many countries. The study was conducted to identify national implementation targets for the utilisation and logistics of intravenous thrombolysis. Material and Method: Multicomponent interventions by stakeholders in health care to optimise prehospital and hospital management with the goal of fast and accessible intravenous thrombolysis for every candidate. Implementation results were documented from prospectively collected cases in all 45 stroke centres nationally. The thrombolytic rate was calculated from the total number of all ischemic strokes in the population of the Czech Republic since 2004. Results: Thrombolytic rates of 1.3 (95%CI 1.1 to 1.4), 5.4 (95%CI 5.1 to 5.7), 13.6 (95%CI 13.1 to 14.0), 23.3 (95%CI 22.8 to 23.9), and 23.5% (95%CI 23.0 to 24.1%) were achieved in 2005, 2009, 2014, 2017, and 2018, respectively. National median door-to-needle times were 60-70 minutes before 2012 and then decreased progressively every year to 25 minutes (IQR 17 to 36) in 2018. In 2018, 33% of both university and non-university hospitals achieved median door-to-needle time ≤20 minutes. In 2018, door-to-needle times ≤20, ≤45, and ≤60 minutes were achieved in 39, 85, and 93% of patients. Discussion: Thrombolysis can be provided to ≥ 20% of all ischemic strokes nationwide and it is realistic to achieve median door-to-needle time 20 minutes. Conclusion: Stroke 20-20 could serve as national implementation target for intravenous thrombolysis and country specific implementation policies should be applied to achieve such target.

INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (IS) can be performed also in patients on anticoagulation therapy (AT); however, sufficient and reliable data about safety and efficacy of MT are still missing. Thus, we aimed to compare these parameters between patients treated on AT and without AT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All consecutive IS patients treated with MT using stent retrievers were included in the retrospective analysis. Neurological deficit was scored using National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and 90-day clinical outcome using modified Rankin scale with a score 0-2 for good outcome. Recanalization was rated using Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) scale. Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) was assessed according to the SITS-MOST criteria. RESULTS: Out of 703 patients treated with MT, 88 (12.5%) patients (46% males, mean age 75.5 ± 11.8 years) were on AT with an admission median NIHSS of 17 points. Recanalization (TICI 2b-3) was achieved in 80% and complete (TICI 3) in 65% of patients on AT and in 80 and 65% of patients without AT (p-1.000). SICH after MT was detected in 9% of AT and 5% of non-AT patients (p-0.136). Good outcome was present in 36% of AT patients (p-0.03). AT patients with poor outcome had more frequently atrial fibrillation (93%, p-0.005), higher admission NIHSS (17, p-0.004) and higher rate of SICH (14.5%, p-0.047). CONCLUSION: MT seems to be safe also in patients on AT. Poor outcome may be related to higher admission NIHSS, higher rate of SICH and presence of atrial fibrillation.
