ECMO management for severe pulmonary embolism with concurrent cerebral hemorrhage: a case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

During the treatment, the patient received two sessions of external cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) as supportive care and experienced cerebral hemorrhage. Through a cautious anticoagulation therapy, not only was the ECMO support successfully maintained but also was further deterioration of cerebral hemorrhage effectively prevented.

Abstract 132: Angioplasty and Stenting for Symptomatic Vertebral Artery Atherosclerotic Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta?Analysis

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

We included articles reporting patients > 18 years old with symptomatic extracranial vertebral artery stenoses due to atherosclerosis treated with stenting (with or without angioplasty). Periprocedural ischemic and hemorrhagic complications occurred in 2.1% Those reporting patients with vertebral dissections were excluded.

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 010: Technical Approaches for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease Large Vessel Occlusion Strokes

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Endovascular intervention was defined as either angioplasty, stenting, or a combination of both. Safety outcomes were comparable with similar rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH).ConclusionWhile Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was low in medically treated patients. Further studies are warranted.

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. We defined two binary outcomes: (1) functional clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-2) and (2) early symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). 10.43, p=0.0325).Conclusions:The
