Abstract WP179: Clinical Outcomes in Acute Stroke in Patients Undergoing Emergency Intracranial Stenting Receiving IV Thrombolysis

Stroke Journal

In cases of stent-retriever thrombectomy failure, rescue stent angioplasty might be the sole option for achieving permanent recanalization. Conclusions:The use of rescue stent angioplasty can be considered after unsuccessful stent-retriever thrombectomy, along with intravenous thrombolytic therapy. 10.43, p=0.0325).Conclusions:The

Abstract 192: Throwing The Kitchen Sink At Tandem Occlusions: A Safety Analysis

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Angioplasty and stenting typically require the administration of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors and/or dual‐antiplatelets which may increase the risk of hemorrhage in the setting of recent thrombolysis administration.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained patient registry at a comprehensive stroke center.

Abstract 215: A Sweet Indicator: HbA1C and Thrombectomy Outcomes in Hispanics

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Patients included were of Hispanic origin presenting between 2012 and 2022 who underwent thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke. Patients with poorly controlled diabetes also were more likely to require angioplasty (31.3% or greater. vs 72, p<0.001) compared to patients who did not have poorly controlled diabetes.
