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...
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has revolutionized the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO), but its efficacy and safety in medium (MeVO) remain less explored. This multicenter, retrospective study aims investigate incidence clinical outcomes perforations (confirmed by extravasation during an angiographic series) MT for AIS caused MeVO.
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs) represents a significant proportion of overall cases. While intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) has been primary treatment, advancements in endovascular procedures have led to increased use mechanical thrombectomy (MT) DMVO patients. However, symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) remains critical complication AIS, particularly after undergoing intervention. This study aims identify factors associated with sICH patients MT.

Objective To report multicenter experience with flow diversion exclusively for BBA, located at non-branching segments along the anteromedial wall supraclinoidal internal carotid artery (ICA). Methods Consecutive cases BBA ICA treated were included in final analysis. Results 49 patients 51 devices to achieve effect identified. 43 45...
OBJECTIVE Flow diversion for posterior circulation aneurysms performed using the Pipeline embolization device (PED) constitutes an increasingly common off-label use otherwise untreatable aneurysms. The safety and efficacy of this treatment modality has not been assessed in a multicenter study. METHODS A retrospective review prospectively maintained databases at 8 academic institutions was years 2009 to 2016 identify patients with treated PED placement. RESULTS total 129 consecutive underwent...
Background and Purpose: Endovascular therapy for tandem occlusion strokes of the anterior circulation is an effective safe treatment. The best treatment approach cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) lesion still unknown. In this study, we aimed to compare functional safety outcomes between different approaches ICA during endovascular acute ischemic due in current clinical practice. Methods: Individual patients’ data were pooled from French prospective multicenter observational ETIS...
Stroke remains a major health concern globally, with oral anticoagulants widely prescribed for stroke prevention. The efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in anticoagulated patients distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVO) are not well understood.
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) from primary medium vessel occlusions (MeVO) is a prevalent condition associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Despite the common use of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in AIS, predictors poor outcomes MeVO remain poorly characterized.
Background The combination of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) may have clinical benefits for patients medium vessel occlusion. Purpose To examine whether MT combined IVT is associated different outcomes than alone in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and Materials Methods This retrospective study included consecutive adult AIS occlusion treated or at 37 academic centers North America, Asia, Europe. Data were collected from September 2017 to July 2021. Propensity...
Emergent carotid artery stenting plus mechanical thrombectomy is an effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke patients with tandem occlusion of the anterior circulation. However, there limited data supporting safety this approach in treated prior intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). We aimed to investigate emergent stenting-mechanical patient population IVT—We assessed because atherosclerotic that were from multicenter observational Thrombectomy Tandem Lesions registry. Patients divided into...
Background and Purpose— Antiplatelet agents could be used in the setting of endovascular therapy for tandem occlusions to reduce risk de novo intracranial embolic migration, reocclusion extracranial internal carotid artery lesion, or in-stent thrombosis case stent placement but have balanced with intracerebral hemorrhagic transformation risk. In this study, we aim investigate impact acute antiplatelet administration on outcomes during anterior circulation occlusions. Methods— This is a...
Background and Purpose— As a reliable scoring system to detect the risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombectomy for ischemic stroke is not yet available, we developed nomogram predicting in patients with large vessel occlusion anterior circulation who received bridging intravenous thrombolysis (training set), validate model by using cohort treated direct (test set). Methods— We conducted study on prospectively collected data from 3714 enrolled IER (Italian Registry...
In patients with acute ischemic stroke treated reperfusion therapy we aimed to evaluate whether pretreatment blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage is associated subsequent hemorrhagic transformation (HT).We prospectively screened intravenous thrombolysis and/or endovascular treatment. Before treatment, each patient received computed tomography (CT), CT angiography, and perfusion. We assessed BBB within the area using volume transfer constant (Ktrans ) value. Our primary outcome was relevant HT,...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, decreased volumes of stroke admissions and mechanical thrombectomy were reported.

The management of acute ischemic stroke is changing. Over the period 2010-2050, number incident strokes expected to be more than double. Rapid access mechanical thrombectomy for patients with large vessel occlusion critically associated their functional outcome. Moreover, first pass effect had a better clinical outcome, lower mortality, and fewer procedural adverse events. We discuss some advances in regarding organization, diagnosis treatment.
Introduction: First pass effect (FPE), achievement of complete recanalization (mTICI 2c/3) with a single pass, is significant predictor favorable outcomes for endovascular treatment (EVT) in large vessel occlusion stroke (LVO). However, data concerning the impact on functional and predictors FPE medium occlusions (MeVO) are scarce. Patients Methods: We conducted an international retrospective study MeVO cases. Multivariable logistic modeling was used to establish independent FPE. Clinical...
