Large-bore mechanical thrombectomy yields better outcomes for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Findings from the first international randomized controlled trial to compare patient outcomes following treatment with large-bore mechanical thrombectomy (LBMT) versus catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) show that LBMT is superior with respect to the hierarchically-tested aggregated outcome of all-cause (..)

Current status of ECMO for massive pulmonary embolism

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Massive pulmonary embolism (MPE) carries significant 30-day mortality and is characterized by acute right ventricular failure, hypotension, and hypoxia, leading to cardiovascular collapse and cardiac arrest. Considerable heterogeneity in studies is a significant weakness of the available literature.

Abstract TP244: Coil Embolization or Clipping for Elderly Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Although older patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are often preferentially treated with coiling, in practice, there are insufficient data to support a clear benefit of coiling in this population. Other endpoints were an unfavorable outcome in the GOS, mortality and a favorable outcome in the mRS separately.

Abelacimab Stops Bleeding, But Stroke Impact Uncertain

CardiacWire

Current guidelines recommend direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for AF because they reduce ischemic stroke with a lower risk of brain hemorrhage. Unfortunately, DOACs often cause gastrointestinal bleeding, which prompted the development of new stroke-prevention methods like Factor XI inhibition. per 100 person-years vs. 0.83).

Abstract WMP87: Characteristics and Outcome of Endovascular Treatment for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Occlusion: Comparison With Cardiogenic Cerebral Embolism in the K-NET Registry

Stroke Journal

The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of EVT for ICAD with those of cardiogenic cerebral embolism (CE) based on real-world data from a multicenter, prospective registry study (K-NET registry) involving 40 centers in Japan.Methods:The K-NET study enrolled 3187 EVTs in 2018-2021, of which 358 (11%) were ICAD and 1870 (59%) were CE.

Abstract 005: Outcomes of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia Type II in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Patients

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Both anticoagulants can be used intraoperatively and postoperatively for DVT prophylaxis in patients undergoing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) treatment. Patients from both groups were assessed for baseline clinical characteristics, comorbidities, interventions, complications, and outcomes.
