Abstract TP195: Impact of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease on Thrombectomy Outcomes in Acute Cerebral Infarction With Large Vessel Occlusion

Stroke Journal

Previous studies have noted that ICAD-related LVOs, compared to embolic occlusions, have longer procedural times and lower successful reperfusion rates. Successful recanalization was defined as Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia score ≥2b. However, clinical outcomes remain similar.

Abstract 163: Total Spinal Cord Infarction, An Underrecognized Postoperative Complication

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Often caused by sudden interruption of blood flow to the spinal cord due to embolic phenomena, intrinsic factors such as connective tissue disease, and due to intra/post‐operative hypotension leading to ischemia or infarction. IntroductionSpinal cord infarctions (SCI) are scarce entities, constituting only 0.3‐1%

Initial Reperfusion T-waves, Followed by Pseudonormalization. Diagnosis?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Both of these are very suggestive of " No-Reflow ," or poor microvascular reperfusion due to downstream embolization of microscopic platelet-fibrin aggregates. More likely, the patient had crescendo angina, with REVERSIBLE ischemia for 48 hours that only became potentially irreversible (STEMI) at that point in time.
