1,2 People living with AFib face an increased risk of stroke, heart failure and death, and many rely on cardiac ablation to treat the condition effectively. As a result, PFA can reduce the risk of damaging adjacent tissue in patients with complex disease or anatomy.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP261-AWP261, February 1, 2025. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is an established treatment for anterior circulation stroke due to large vessel occlusion. The primary navigation challenge stems from the interaction between devices (catheters, guidewires) and arterial anatomy.
The primary outcome was mortality, while secondary outcomes included in-hospital complications such as stroke and pacemaker implantation and transcatheter heart valve hemodynamic performance.RESULTS:The number of patients with AS with type 0 bicuspid, type 1 bicuspid, and tricuspid aortic valve anatomy was 328, 302, and 642, respectively.
Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. IntroductionBasilar artery occlusion (BAO) is one of the most severe acute ischemic strokes which carries high mortality and morbidity risk. One of the reasons is due to more challenged vascular anatomy compared to anterior circulation.
Further, the SMART Trial demonstrated non-inferior clinical outcomes, including a lower composite rate of all-cause mortality, disabling stroke, or heart failure rehospitalization (9.4% Evolut vs. 10.6% SAPIEN, p In addition to being the largest comparative trial of TAVR, SMART is the largest TAVR trial to enroll primarily women (87%).
1 People suffering from PAD have not only impaired quality of life but also increased risk of heart attack or stroke. PAD affects more than eight million people aged 40 and older in the United States. 2 CLTI is the most advanced and serious form of PAD, impacting nearly 2 million patients in the U.S.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP62-AWMP62, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Corticospinal tract (CST) lesion load (LL) based on a CST template is commonly used as a predictor of motor outcomes after stroke, but the optimal approach is still unclear.
