First?Line Stent Retriever Versus Contact Aspiration or Combined Technique for Endovascular Therapy of Posterior Cerebral Artery Occlusion Stroke: The PLATO Study

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Intravenous thrombolysis was administered in 39.6%. Patients treated with SR, CA, or combined technique were compared with multivariable logistic regression.RESULTSThere were 326 patients who met inclusion criteria, 56.1% Occlusion segments were PCA‐P1 (53.1%), P2 (40.5%), and other (6.4%).

Abstract 012: First?line Stent Retriever Versus Contact Aspiration or Combined Technique for Posterior Cerebral Artery Occlusion EVT

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Intravenous thrombolysis was administered in 39.6%. Previous studies in LVO and MeVO have demonstrated a correlation between good clinical outcomes and the first pass effect (FPE, eTICI 2c/3 on the first pass) but no differences in FPE rates or clinical outcomes between first‐line endovascular therapy techniques.1‐6

Concerning EKG with a Non-obstructive angiogram. What happened?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The commonest causes of MINOCA include: atherosclerotic causes such as plaque rupture or erosion with spontaneous thrombolysis, and non-atherosclerotic causes such as coronary vasospasm (sometimes called variant angina or Prinzmetal's angina), coronary embolism or thrombosis, possibly microvascular dysfunction.

What happens when you give morphine for chest pain in ACS? And what is pseudo-normalization of T-waves?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

He eventually underwent CAG, where a circumflex occlusion was stented. Here is an old (2015), but still very relevant, lecture on T-wave inversion by Dr. Smith: 40 minute lecture on T-wave inversion Learning points : T-waves are often dynamic in ACS and may hint at reperfusion and re-occlusion before the ST-segment does.
