Despite the well-established potent benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke, access to MT has not been studied globally. We conducted a worldwide survey countries on 6 continents define (MTA), disparities in MTA, and its determinants global scale.Our was 75 through Mission Thrombectomy 2020+ network between November 22, 2020, February 28, 2021. The primary end points were current annual operator availability, center availability. MTA defined as...
Antiplatelet and antithrombotic medication management before, during, after neurointerventional procedures has significant practice variation. This document updates builds upon the 2014 Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) Guideline 'Platelet function inhibitor platelet testing in procedures', providing based on treatment specific pathologies for patients with comorbidities.We performed a structured literature review studies that have become available since SNIS Guideline. We graded...
Importance Whether endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) efficacy for patients with acute ischemic stroke and large cores varies depending on the extent of injury is uncertain. Objective To describe relationship between imaging estimates irreversibly injured brain (core) at-risk regions (mismatch) clinical outcomes EVT treatment effect. Design, Setting, Participants An exploratory analysis SELECT2 trial, which randomized 352 adults (18-85 years) due to occlusion internal carotid or middle cerebral...
Although previous trials have established the efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in large ischemic core strokes, most them excluded patients with extracranial internal carotid artery (e-ICA) occlusion. We aimed to compare outcomes e-ICA occlusion infarcts treated EVT vs medical management (MM). This was a secondary analysis SELECT2 trial, randomized controlled trial conducted at 31 international sites. Adult proximal intracranial anterior circulation defined as Alberta...
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has a multifactorial pathophysiology, with immune dysregulation being an important component. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is established prognostic marker in patients cancer, cardiac disease, and sepsis.To determine whether there relationship between NLR DCI aSAH.We evaluated 1067 aSAH 2006 2015 enrolled single-center, prospective, observational cohort study. Admission white blood cell differentials...
<h3>SUMMARY:</h3> Herein, we report the findings of intracranial arterial wall enhancement, consistent with focal cerebral arteriopathy–inflammatory type, in a child presenting acute infarct setting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. To our knowledge, this provides first description vessel imaging COVID-19-associated stroke.
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is associated with hypercoagulability. We sought to evaluate the demographic and clinical characteristics of cerebral venous thrombosis among patients hospitalized for disease 2019 (COVID-19) at 6 tertiary care centers in New York City metropolitan area. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study 13,500 consecutive COVID-19 who were between March 1 May...
Patients with large ischemic core stroke have poor clinical outcomes and are frequently not considered for interfacility transfer endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).
Immune dysregulation has long been implicated in the development of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).To determine relationship inflammatory cell biomarkers with DCI.We evaluated 849 aSAH patients who were enrolled into a prospective observational cohort study and had white blood (WBC) differential obtained within 72 h bleed onset.WBC count > 12.1 × 109/L (odds ratio 4.6; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.9-11, P < 0.001) was strongest Complete...
The current COVID-19 pandemic has recently brought to attention the myriad of neuro- logic sequelae associated with Coronavirus infection including predilection for stroke, particularly in young patients. Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a well-described clinical leading intracra- nial vessels, and been convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage oc- casionally cervical artery dissection. It usually reported context trigger such as medications, recreational drugs, or postpartum...
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...
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...
