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

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. We included articles reporting patients > 18 years old with symptomatic extracranial vertebral artery stenoses due to atherosclerosis treated with stenting (with or without angioplasty). and 1.7%, respectively.

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

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. IntroductionThe optimal management strategy for large vessel occlusion strokes (LVOS) from intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) remains debated. Endovascular intervention was defined as either angioplasty, stenting, or a combination of both.

Abstract WP179: Clinical Outcomes in Acute Stroke in Patients Undergoing Emergency Intracranial Stenting Receiving IV Thrombolysis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP179-AWP179, February 1, 2024. Background:Stent-retriever thrombectomy is the first-line therapy for acute stroke with intracranial large vessel occlusion. In cases of stent-retriever thrombectomy failure, rescue stent angioplasty might be the sole option for achieving permanent recanalization.

Abstract 215: A Sweet Indicator: HbA1C and Thrombectomy Outcomes in Hispanics

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. Diabetes is a risk factor for acute ischemic stroke and also a poor predictor of outcome for many interventional surgeries. Patients with poorly controlled diabetes also were more likely to require angioplasty (31.3% or greater. or greater.
