Abstract TP191: National Trends in Rescue Therapy for Failed Thrombectomy 2009-2020

Stroke Journal

Introduction:For a subset of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO) mechanical thrombectomy with a stent retriever and/or aspiration is insufficient to revascularize the target artery. Rescue therapy with angioplasty alone or with stenting has been utilized.

Abstract WMP94: Trends in Co-morbidities and Mortality in Rescue Stenting and Elective Stenting for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease: National Inpatient Sample Data Analysis

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Medical therapy and endovascular therapy for intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) have evolved over the past two decades with improved medical therapy benchmarks, and improved techniques and patient selection for stenting. vs 10.2%) in the 2020 patient group compared to the 2009 patients. vs 7.9%), diabetes (33.6%

Fractional flow reserve for guiding coronary intervention and functional SYNTAX score

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

If the FFR normalizes after stenting, the restenosis rates at six months is less than 5%. Since the FFR wire can be used for guiding balloon catheters and stents, it is easy to make post procedure measurements without any additional effort. Routine FFR measurement probably lead to more judicious use of stents and improved outcomes.

How terrible can it be to fail to recognize OMI? To whom is OMI Obvious or Not Obvious?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

She was taken to the cath lab, where she was found to have 100% in-stent restenosis of the proximal LAD. 2009;Available from: [link] 4. About 45 minutes after the second EKG, the patient was found in cardiac arrest. She was worked as a full code, and ROSC was achieved. Later the next day, she went into cardiac arrest again.

No, we can’t call OMT, as a re-vascularisation  procedure.

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

It means either a percutaneous coronary intervention with a stent or CABG. Regular exercise equivalent to PCI (ESC 2009).Will You may be. But I am not.You need to undergo some re-vascularisation procedure. What do you mean by that Doctor ? Can I get my heart re-vascularised by drugs alone Doctor ? No we can’t.

Abstract TMP10: Impact of eicosapentaenoic acids and cilostazol in patients with intracranial arterial disease

Stroke Journal

Introduction:An optimal strategy for the treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) has remained unclear, despite medical therapy (antiplatelet therapy and LDL control management) or endovascular therapy (angioplasty or stenting).

Precordial ST depression. What is the diagnosis?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The OM-1 was opened and stented, then the LAD was stented 3 days later. Blackwell Publishing 2009. The LAD had a 75% proximal lesion that by fractional flow reserve was hemodynamically significant. So there was 3-vessel disease, but with an acute posterior STEMI. The posterior leads were falsely negative.
