Abstract 278: Patterns of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Stroke Before and After the 2015 Pivotal Trials:5 Years Follow?up

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionThe 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines recommended mechanical thrombectomy with stent‐retriever devices. Compared with 2012‐2014, the 2015‐2019 cohort showed increased odds of ICH and shock while the odds of DVT, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, and UTI were significantly lower.

Socioeconomic status as a predictor of post-operative mortality and outcomes in carotid artery stenting vs. carotid endarterectomy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Literature has demonstrated that carotid artery stenting (CAS) poses greater risk of postoperative complications, particularly stroke, than carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Methods The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was queried for patients undergoing CAS and CEA from 2010 to 2015.

Abstract WP10: Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous Cangrelor for Acute Rescue Cervical and Intracranial Stenting in Ischemic Stroke

Stroke Journal

Background:Increased immediate and delayed re-occlusion rates, up to 33%, are reported in patients undergoing acute stenting for tandem lesions, with symptomatic hemorrhage rates around 10-15%. Intraprocedural intravenous (IV) cangrelor is emerging as a bridging therapy for antiplatelet inhibition during acute stenting in ischemic stroke.

Abstract TMP94: Association of Acute Carotid Stenting With Functional Outcome Mediated by Excellent Reperfusion in Tandem Lesions: Analysis of a Multicenter Registry

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Current evidence suggests that acute carotid artery stenting (CAS) for cervical lesions is associated with better functional outcomes in patients with acute stroke with tandem lesions (TLs) treated with endovascular treatment (EVT).

Texted from a former EM resident: 70 yo with syncope and hypotension, but no chest pain. Make their eyes roll!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine 2015; 33(6):786-790. Former resident: "Just saw cath report, LAD stent was 100% acutely occluded." They of course opened and stented it. Electrocardiographic Criteria to Differentiate Acute Anterior ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction from Left Ventricular Aneurysm. You taught us well!"

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

We compared clinical and technical outcomes with first‐line stent retriever (SR), contact aspiration (CA), or combined techniques in patients with isolated PCA occlusion.METHODSThis international case–control study was conducted at 30 sites in Europe and North America and included consecutive patients with isolated PCA occlusion presenting within 24 (..)

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

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

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
