Background and Purpose— We analyzed the relationship between HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) levels and clinical outcomes in patients with large vessel occlusion treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT).
Background and Purpose— Carotid artery stenting in tandem large vessel occlusion strokes is usually avoided because of the intracranial hemorrhagic risks induced by antiplatelet therapy during thrombectomy interventions. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of hemorrhagic transformation following thrombectomy in large vessel occlusion strokes patients with atherosclerotic cervical carotid occlusion, associated factors, and clinical relevance.
Background and Purpose— Our goal was to evaluate whether the presence of a low signal intensity known as susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) on T2*-gradient echo imaging sequence was predictive of arterial recanalization and the early clinical improvement after mechanical thrombectomy.
Background and Purpose— The safety and efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke has been demonstrated. However, the impact of stent retriever size on clinical and angiographic outcomes is not well established.
Background and Purpose— Although intracranial thrombectomy represents the standard treatment approach for anterior circulation tandem occlusions, whether the extracranial lesion requires acute stenting remains unclear. Our aim was to investigate differences in clinical and procedural outcomes related to stenting extracranial lesions in a registry of patients undergoing thrombectomy for acute stroke.
Background and Purpose— It is unclear whether endovascular treatment (EVT) is beneficial for patients with acute ischemic stroke with occlusion of the M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery. We aimed to compare functional outcomes, technical aspects, and complications of EVT between patients with acute ischemic stroke because of M2 and M1 occlusions in clinical practice. Furthermore, outcome and complications after EVT in dominant and nondominant caliber M2 division occlusions were studied.
Background and Purpose— We investigated whether procedural stroke or death risk of carotid artery stenting (CAS) compared with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is different in patients with and without history of coronary heart disease (CHD) and whether the treatment-specific impact of age differs.
Background and Purpose— Factors influencing recanalization success in basilar artery occlusions are largely unknown. Preliminary evidence has suggested that flow arrest in the vertebral artery contralateral to the catheter bearing vertebral artery may facilitate recanalization. The aim of this analysis was to assess the impact of anatomic variations and flow conditions on recanalization success in basilar artery occlusion treated with mechanical thrombectomy.
Background and Purpose— Randomized trials comparing the use of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to multimodal computed tomography (CT)/ CT angiography (CTA) for selecting candidates for endovascular therapy (EVT) have not been reported. This study aimed to elucidate whether MRI-based selection for EVT is safe and effective within and after a 6-hour time window compared with conventional CTA-based selection.
Background and Purpose— Intraluminal thrombus (ILT) is an uncommon finding among patients with ischemic stroke. We report clinical-imaging manifestations, treatment offered, and outcome among patients with ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack and ILT in their cervico-cephalic arteries.
Background and Purpose— Carotid artery stenosis is common in the elderly and contributes to cognitive impairment and dementia. Cortical cerebral microinfarcts (CMIs) play an important role in vascular cognitive impairment and dementia. We aimed to investigate the association between CMIs on 3T magnetic resonance imaging and clinical and radiological features, including plaque morphology, and cognitive function in patients with carotid stenosis.
Background and Purpose— We report the relation of onset-to-treatment time and door-to-needle time with functional outcomes and mortality among patients with ischemic stroke with imaging-proven large vessel occlusion treated with intravenous alteplase
Background and Purpose— Although several clinical studies suggested the beneficial effects of edaravone in acute ischemic stroke, most were performed under settings that differ from those in the current treatment strategy, which has dramatically changed with progress in reperfusion therapies. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of edaravone in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated by emergent endovascular reperfusion therapy.
Background and Purpose— Rapid initiation of endovascular stroke treatment is associated with better clinical outcome. The effect of specific improvements is not well known. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effectiveness of specific workflow improvements on time to treatment and outcome.
Background and Purpose Literature is sparse on the frequency and significance of anatomical venous variants (AVVs) in pediatric cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT)
