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% vs. 20.5%; p = 0.048) and stenting (28.4% or greater.

Abstract 171: Embolization of non?ruptured intracranial aneurysms with flow diverter devices in Mexico: Quick responses

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionFlow diverters (FD) are stent‐type devices that enable the exclusion of intracranial aneurysms in clinical scenarios where coil‐type devices exhibit high failure rates. Angioplasties were performed as part of the procedure on four patients, and successful liberation was achieved in all procedures. years (±13.3).
