However, it is unknown which technique leads to technical and clinical success. We aimed determine yields the most first pass reperfusion during MT. Methods In a prospective, multicenter global registry we enrolled patients operator preferred MT at 71 hospitals January 2019 2022. Three techniques were assessed: SR Classic stent...
Background and purpose The Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) has become a routine first-line option for treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). We assessed the early safety technical success new version PED, Flex with Shield Technology (Pipeline Shield), which same design configuration but been modified to include surface synthetic biocompatible polymer. Materials methods (PFLEX) study is prospective, single-arm, multicenter unruptured IAs using Shield. primary endpoints included...
Purpose The aim of our study was to assess the technical success and safety this new low-profile flow diverter Silk Vista Baby (SVB) by evaluating intraprocedural periprocedural complication rate. Material/methods Clinical, procedural, angiographic data were analyzed. Results: 41 consecutive patients (28 women; age average 50.5 years) with 43 aneurysms treated SVB. Aneurysm sizes classified their maximum diameter, an size 9.5 mm (range 2–30 mm). Thirty-four cases unruptured. five previously...
Background and Purpose- We aimed to evaluate the impact of brain atrophy on long-term clinical outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated endovascular therapy, more specifically, test whether there are interactions between degree infarct volume, age, determining risk futile reperfusion. Methods- studied consecutive proximal anterior circulation intracranial arterial occlusions therapy achieving successful recanalization. Brain was evaluated baseline computed tomography global...
The first and second generations of the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) have been widely adopted for treatment intracranial aneurysms (IAs) due to their high associated occlusion rates low morbidity mortality. objective this study was evaluate safety effectiveness third- generation Shield device (PED-Shield) IAs.The SHIELD a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, post-market, observational evaluating PED-Shield IAs. primary efficacy endpoint complete aneurysm without significant parent...
The mechanisms and outcomes in coronavirus disease (COVID-19)-associated stroke are unique from those of non-COVID-19 stroke.To describe the efficacy acute revascularization large vessel occlusion (LVO) setting COVID-19 an international cohort.We conducted multicenter retrospective study consecutively admitted patients with concomitant LVO across 50 comprehensive centers. Our control group constituted historical controls presenting receiving a mechanical thrombectomy between January 2018...
