Abstract
in English, Portuguese

Background: While bibliometric analyses are prevalent in the medical field, few have focused on ther endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Objective: To employ big data analysis to examine the research status, trends, and hotspots in endovascular treatment for AIS.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search using the Web of Science (WOS) database to identify relevant articles on the endovascular treatment for AIS from 1980 to the present. We used various tools for data analysis, including an online platform (https://bibliometric.com/app), the Citespace software, the Vosviewer software, and the ArcMap software, version 10.8. A number of bibliometric indicators were collected and analyzed, such as publication date, country where the studies were conducted, institutions to which the authors were affiliated, authors, high-frequency keywords, cooperative relationship etc. RESULTS: A total of 5,576 articles were retrieved. A substantial increase in the number of articles occurred after 2010. High-frequency keywords included terms such as large vessel occlusion, reperfusion, outcome, and basilar artery occlusion. Among the top 10 most productive authors, Raul G. Nogueira ranked first, with 136 published articles. Among the journals, The New England Journal of Medicine ranked first, with 5,631 citations. The United States has the closest collaborative ties with other nations.

Conclusion: In the present study, we found that the reports of endovascular treatment for AIS gradually increased after 2010. Among them, Raul G. Nogueira was the most productive author in this field. The New England Journal of Medicine was the most cited, and it had the greatest impact. The Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands (MR CLEAN) trial study was the most cited, and it was a landmark study. There are many interesting studies on endovascular treatment for AIS, such as ischemic penumbra, collateral circulation, bridging therapy etc.

Antecedentes: Embora as análises bibliométricas sejam predominantes na área médica, poucas se concentraram no tratamento endovascular para acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico (AVCI) agudo.

Objetivo: Empregar análise de big data para examinar o status da pesquisa, tendências e pontos críticos no tratamento endovascular para AVCI. MéTODOS: Realizamos uma pesquisa abrangente usando o banco de dados Web of Science (WOS) para identificar artigos relevantes sobre o tratamento endovascular para AVCI de 1980 até o presente. Usamos várias ferramentas para análise de dados, incluindo uma plataforma on-line (https://bibliometric.com/app), os softwares Citespace, Vosviewer e ArcMap, versão 10.8. Vários indicadores bibliométricos foram coletados e analisados, como data de publicação, país onde os estudos foram conduzidos, instituições às quais os autores eram afiliados, autores, palavras-chave de alta frequência, relacionamento cooperativo etc. RESULTADOS: Um total de 5.576 artigos foram coletados. Um aumento substancial no número de artigos ocorreu após 2010. Palavras-chave de alta frequência incluíram termos como oclusão de grandes vasos, reperfusão, desfecho e oclusão da artéria basilar. Entre os dez autores mais produtivos, Raul G. Nogueira ficou em primeiro lugar, com 136 artigos publicados. Entre os periódicos, The New England Journal of Medicine ficou em primeiro lugar, com 5.631 citações. Os Estados Unidos têm os laços de colaboração mais próximos com outras nações. CONCLUSãO: No presente estudo, descobrimos que os relatos de tratamento endovascular para AVCI aumentaram gradualmente após 2010. Entre eles, Raul G. Nogueira foi o autor mais produtivo neste campo. A revista The New England Journal of Medicine foi a mais citada e teve o maior impacto. O estudo clínico Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands (MR CLEAN) foi o mais citado e foi um estudo de destaque. Existem muitos estudos interessantes sobre tratamento endovascular para AVCI, como penumbra isquêmica, circulação colateral, terapia de ponte etc.
