The COVID-19 pandemic led to profound changes in the organization of health care systems worldwide.We sought measure global impact on volumes for mechanical thrombectomy, stroke, and intracranial hemorrhage hospitalizations over a three-month period at height (1 March-31 May 2020) compared with two control periods (immediately preceding one year prior).Retrospective, observational, international study, across 6 continents, 40 countries, 187 comprehensive stroke centers. diagnoses were...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, decreased volumes of stroke admissions and mechanical thrombectomy were reported. The study's objective was to examine whether subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) hospitalisations ruptured aneurysm coiling interventions demonstrated similar declines.We conducted a cross-sectional, retrospective, observational study across 6 continents, 37 countries 140 comprehensive centres. Patients with diagnosis SAH, aneurysmal identified by prospective databases or International...
Mechanical thrombectomy is the standard of care for acute ischemic strokes with proximal intracranial occlusion. Arterial access commonly achieved femoral artery puncture, although this not always possible. In case series, we describe 11 cases anterior circulation stroke where direct carotid puncture was used to obtain vascular access.A review a prospectively maintained database over 2-year period (August 2016 - August 2018) undertaken identify performed. CT and angiographic imaging were...
Platelets and von Willebrand factor (vWF) are key factors in thrombosis thus likely components of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) emboli. We aimed to characterize platelet vWF levels AIS emboli assess associations between their expression clinical procedural information.Histopathological immunohistochemical analysis collected as part the multi-institutional RESTORE registry was performed. The composition quantified using Orbit Image Analysis machine learning software. Correlations clot...
Background Timely endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is crucial for improving outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study evaluated the effectiveness of a national quality improvement collaborative (QIC) reducing process times potential EVT candidates across network. Methods A pre-post intervention design using modified Breakthrough Series approach was implemented 24 hospitals. Multidisciplinary teams participated monthly learning sessions and action periods focused on ‘Door to...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Direct aspiration is a recognized technique for revascularization in large-vessel ischemic strokes. There ongoing debate regarding its efficacy compared with stent retrievers. Every delay achieving and decrease reperfusion rates reduces the likelihood of patients functional independence. We propose standardized setup aspiration-first all anterior circulation thrombectomy procedures increasing speed recanalization rates. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> analyzed...
Background and purpose Healthcare systems are challenged to provide access thrombectomy in acute stroke patients. Either the “drip ship” or “mothership” models result increased numbers of patients endovascular centre (ESC). We describe our approach for a “drip, ship, retrieve leave” model repatriating immediately within 24 hours thrombectomy. Methods included consecutive who underwent from January 2016 June 2018. Patients local region primary centres (PSC) repatriated those remote PSCs...
Rapid access to thrombectomy for patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is critical improving outcome. A major challenge the 'drip and ship' model reducing door-in-door-out time (DIDO). We propose a new protocol aim of DIDO, without adversely affecting emergency service usage time.Consecutive suspected LVO AIS admitted Primary Stroke Center (PSC) from October 2018 January 2021 were included. On arrival, ambulance crew remained patient. Following immediate...
The aim of the present study was to investigate migratory responses eosinophil and neutrophil granulocytes from asthmatic patients compared with healthy individuals. Twenty‐three unstable severe asthma blood eosinophilia (>400 × 10 6 cells/l) were selected for study. Eosinophil chemotactic chemokinetic tested twice, at beginning end a 5 week treatment period. Lung function followed by daily measurements PEF. eosinophils asthmatics demonstrated increased albumin, autologous serum, normal...
World Health Organization (WHO) grade 2 and 3 diffuse gliomas account for approximately 5% of primary brain tumors. They are invasive infiltrative tumors have considerable morbidity, causing progressive neurologic deterioration. The mean survival time is <10 years from diagnosis. Surgical debulking represents first-line management. extent resection associated with progression-free overall survival. Radiologic assessment the challenging. This can be underestimated on early postoperative MRI,...
Purpose Intraprocedural complications during intracranial embolisation include thromboembolic vessel occlusion, catheter tip detachment and coil migration. Stentrievers aspiration catheters are valuable devices for the management of these complications. We present our experience with use devices. describe techniques used, case details clinical outcomes. Currently there is no standardised approach above intraprocedural Methods performed a retrospective review interventional neuroradiology...
