IntroductionThe use of detachable coils for endovascular embolization of cerebral aneurysms has become a safe and effective alternative to direct surgical clipping in patients with ruptured aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The post‐procedural complication rate proved to be higher than in non‐ruptured stent‐assisted coiling.
BACKGROUND:Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an alternative treatment for patients with carotid artery stenosis who are not eligible for carotid endarterectomy. The primary outcome was a composite of ischemic stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, and intracranial hemorrhage within 12 months of switching to single antiplatelet therapy.
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
Background:Increased immediate and delayed re-occlusion rates, up to 33%, are reported in patients undergoing acute stenting for tandem lesions, with symptomatic hemorrhage rates around 10-15%. The primary outcome was re-occlusion of cervical or intracranial arteries, assessed immediately, early (within 24 hours), and at follow-up.
Background:Studies have demonstrated that the addition of alteplase for patients with tandem lesions who underwent mechanical thrombectomy and acute stenting was safe with improved outcomes. Primary outcomes included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and parenchymal hematoma type 2 (PH-2). of IV TNK vs 58.2%
IntroductionCurrent literature suggests a benefit in functional outcomes and reperfusion rates when carotid artery stenting (CAS) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are performed emergently. However, rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages have been inconclusive. Stent placement was feasible in all cases.
Rescue treatment with stenting, balloon angioplasty, and/or intraarterial thrombolysis or antiplatelets are often required to treat the underlying stenosis. 4 Recent literature has reported clinical benefits associated with rescue stenting in the setting of ICAD‐related MT‐refractory strokes.5
1, 2)These patients are also more likely to experience poor functional outcomes. (3) 3) Rescue stenting (RS) in these patients has shown promising rates of recanalization and better outcomes in preliminary studies. Therefore, rescue stenting can be considered as a safe and viable option in these patients.
BackgroundFor acute proximal intracranial artery occlusions, contact aspiration may be more effective than stent‐retriever for first‐line reperfusion therapy. stent‐retriever versus 55.5% stent‐retriever versus 55.5% stent‐retriever versus 55.5% versus 23.8%;P=0.10). versus 23.8%;P=0.10). versus 23.8%;P=0.10).
Background:Patients with atrial fibrillation were excluded from clinical trials evaluating carotid artery stent(CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CEA).We We ascertained the end points of intra-procedural and post-procedural cerebral infarction, hemorrhage, discharge home and death in CAS and CEA patients with atrial fibrillation.
IntroductionVertebral artery stenting represents a viable option in treating symptomatic vertebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis. We included articles reporting patients > 18 years old with symptomatic extracranial vertebral artery stenoses due to atherosclerosis treated with stenting (with or without angioplasty).
Herein, we describe a single‐step approach to deploy Neuroform Atlas stent (Stryker Neurovascular, Fremont, CA) which is a hybrid laser‐cut, nitinol self‐expanding stent without the need for ELW or lesion re‐access using MINI TREK RX (Abbott Vascular, Inc., There was no restriction on time from last known well (TLKW) to MT.
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a main complication of IVT, with prevalence reported around 3.2% Additionally, extravasation of contrast was seen within the left basal ganglia region, concerning for hemorrhagic transformation from IV‐tPA. He underwent single pass complete recanalization, TICI 2C using Stent retriever and aspiration.
Rescue strategies options, including balloon angioplasty alone, rescue stenting (RS) alone, or stent with balloon angioplasty, have shown promise in observational studies and meta‐analyses [3, 4]. The primary efficacy outcome was the shift in the degree of disability, as measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), at 90 days.
Background:Hyperperfusion phenomenon (HPP) constitutes a significant risk factor for adverse outcomes following carotid artery stenting (CAS). Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP178-ATP178, February 1, 2025. Currently, the sole method for evaluating the risk of HPP post-CAS is the invasive acetazolamide (ACZ) challenge test.
Diabetes is a risk factor for acute ischemic stroke and also a poor predictor of outcome for many interventional surgeries. vs. 20.5%; p = 0.048) and stenting (28.4% We performed this retrospective cohort analysis to assess the impact of poorly controlled diabetes, defined as HbA1C of 9.0% or greater.
Final infarct segmentation included hemorrhagic transformation. We compared demographics, radiological findings, clinical outcomes, and follow-up results between mismatch and no mismatch groups.Results:Among 73 patients, 20 (27.4%) had DWI-ADC mismatch. DWIR% = (DWIR/baseline DWI volume) 100 was calculated. P < 0.0001).
The primary outcome was the first‐pass effect (FPE), defined as expanded Treatment in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) 2c/3 on the first pass. FPE was associated with higher rates of favorable outcomes (modified Rankin scale score 0–2: 58% versus 43.4%;P=0.01; FPE was associated with better 90‐day clinical outcomes. 0.95];P=0.04).
However, IVT's efficacy on stent retriever (SR) and aspiration thrombectomy (ASP) outcomes specifically remain unclear. Moreover, our results indicate that administration of IVT before MT may improve certain outcomes based on the used first‐line MT technique.
IntroductionThe optimal endovascular approach for wide‐neck intracranial aneurysms (IAs) during the acute phase of bleeding remains uncertain, and the use of stent‐assisted coiling or flow diversion is controversial due to antiplatelet therapy requirements and potential risks (1, 2). Of the patients, 60.5%

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.
BackgroundProcedural intravenous cangrelor has been proposed as an effective platelet inhibition strategy for stenting in acute ischemic stroke. Safety outcomes included rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, parenchymal hematoma type 2, petechial hemorrhage, and in‐stent thrombosis. 3.28];P=0.836).
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.
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.
We therefore aim to characterize the antiplatelet regimens, and associated thromboembolic/hemorrhagicoutcomes, utilized in patients with aneurysms treated with PED Shield.MethodsFactors including demographics, comorbidities, rupture status, devices placed, and antiplatelet regimen, among others, were collected.
We also compared the safety of acute carotid stenting (CAS) in TLs with low ASPECTS.Methods:This prospective multicenter study from 16 centers included patients with anterior circulation TL from 2015-2020. 5.02; p=0.86), petechial hemorrhages (OR: 0.79, CI: 0.10-6.05; in patients with stenting (18/44) versus no-stenting (25/44).Conclusion:This
Treatment of ICAS‐LVO with rescue stenting and/or angioplasty has shown promising outcomes, but diagnosing ICAS‐LVO during MT can be challenging [2, 3]. Most respondents (86%) preferred acute treatment of ICAS‐LVO with rescue stenting (RS) +/‐ angioplasty.
Functional, safety, and imaging outcomes were compared between patients in EVT vs. MM.Results:Of 352 enrolled, 100 (28%) had tandem occlusions, with 56 receiving EVT. TL Patients receiving EVT demonstrated significantly better functional outcomes (mRS at 90d: EVT 4[3-6] vs MM 5[4-6]; aGenOR: 2.22; 95%CI, 1.47-3.34; 0.90), p=0.009).
We compared baseline characteristics and completed a one‐way ANOVA to analyze for outcome measures such as in‐hospital mortality, 90‐day mortality, favorable functional outcome defined as modified Rankin Score (mRS) of 0‐2, at 90 days, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and asymptomatic hemorrhage (aICH) between groups.
IntroductionTo provide our single‐institution experience and outcome data with the WEB device in 51 patients treated for ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms.MethodsOcclusion rates in a cohort of 51 patients treated with WEB were collected at time of procedure and at last follow‐up between the years 2019 and 2021.
Novel NiTi-braided stent retriever (Venous-TD) is a dedicated venous sinus thrombectomy device. The primary efficacy outcome was the proportion of immediate complete recanalization during EVT. Secondary outcomes included the proportion of functional independence and moderate to severe residential headache at 180 days after EVT.
IntroductionThe Advanced Neurovascular Access (ANA5, Anaconda Biomed) is a novel stroke thrombectomy catheter comprising a distal self‐expanding covered funnel designed to locally restrict blood flow in the Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) and, when used in conjuction with available stent retreiver, reduce clot fragmentation during clot ingestion.
EVT consists of mechanical thrombectomy, thromboaspiration, balloon dilation, stenting, intra-arterial thrombolysis, or various combinations of these methods.
Cases of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) are estimated to affect roughly 3% of the general population and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have an incidence of 8 to 9 people per 100,000. IntroductionIntracranial aneurysms, both ruptured and unruptured, pose a significant risk to the general population.
IntroductionPrevious studies did not show a difference in terms of safety and efficacy among first‐line stent retriever (SR), contact aspiration (CA), or combined techniques for proximal large vessel occlusion strokes. The primary outcome was FPE defined as eTICI 2c/3 on the first pass. were female, with a mean age of 69.3
Primary effectiveness was complete occlusion (Raymond Roy Class 1) without retreatment at 1-year follow-up (core lab adjudicated), and primary safety was major stroke (ischemic/hemorrhagic) in the territory supplied by the target artery or death.Results:129 cases were included (median age 58 years, IQR: 50-67 years, 85% females). mm (IQR: 4.0-7.5)
