Backgrounds Myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) has recently been accepted as a common complication associated with increased mortality. However, little is known about the treatment of MINS. The aim of this study was to investigate an association between antiplatelet therapy and long-term mortality after MINS. Methods From 2010 to 2019, patients with MINS, defined as having a peak high-sensitivity troponin I higher than 40 ng/L within 30 days after non-cardiac surgery, were screen

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. The rate of incidentally discovered unruptured intracranial aneurysms has increased with the broad availability of neuroimaging. The determination of the risk of rupture of brain aneurysms is challenging. Several clinical scales for aneurysm rupture prediction have been developed. The most common scales are PHASES, ELAPSS, and UIATS.

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. Middle meningeal artery embolization is an increasingly common procedure involved in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) that can be an adjuvant intervention or an alternative to traditional medical or surgical therapies. Our review aims to summarize the mechanism, properties, and available clinical data for current and investigative embolic agents used for the treatment of cSDH.
