Introduction: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a less common stroke subtype. While long term outcome factors have been extensively studied, short deterioration remains poorly understood. Patients and methods: We conducted 10-years retrospective analysis at high-volume tertiary center, including consecutive patients diagnosed with CVT. The primary was early (ED), defined as decrease in Glasgow Coma Scale, de novo or worsening of focal deficit, death from neurological cause, new enlarged...
Background Cerebral edema is frequent in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who undergo reperfusion therapy and associated high mortality. The impact of collateral pial circulation (CPC) status on the development has not yet been determined. Methods We studied consecutive AIS documented M1–middle cerebral artery (MCA) and/or distal internal carotid (ICA) occlusion underwent treatment. Edema was graded 24-hour non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) scan. CPC evaluated at phase (≤6...
Background Preoperative embolization has been used for intracranial meningiomas nearly 40 years with varying preferences embolic materials and limited comparative data on their efficacy. Methods Consecutively treated patients from 2013 until 2023 who underwent preoperative meningioma 12 centers across North America Europe were included classified by material: (1) particles, (2) Onyx, (3) coils. Primary outcomes estimated blood loss (EBL), procedural complications, surgery duration, gross...
Calcifications are an important element of atherosclerotic plaques and have been used as a marker atherosclerosis clinical outcome predictor in different vascular territories. CT-scan, performed the acute ischemic stroke setting, can reliably detect intracranial arterial calcifications.To investigate association between internal carotid artery calcification functional outcome, symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), recanalization, death.We included 396 consecutive patients submitted to...
Epidemiological studies have shown racial and ethnic minorities to higher stroke risk worse outcomes than non-Hispanic Whites. In this cohort study, we analyzed the STAR (Stroke Thrombectomy Aneurysm Registry) database, a multi-institutional database of patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for acute large vessel occlusion determine relationship between race.Patients January 2017 May 2020 were analyzed. Data included baseline characteristics, vascular factors, complications,...
Objective In patients with large vessel occlusion, successful reperfusion is a predictor of favorable outcome. However, underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) show higher rates immediate reocclusion, frequently requiring rescue stenting. We aimed to investigate the safety, efficacy, and outcome acute stenting in stroke ICAD. Methods Prospective databases from two centers between 2012 2021 were reviewed. Adult who underwent ICAD-related stenting, after mechanical thrombectomy...
<h3>Introduction</h3> The CT angiogram is an essential tool to plan catheter access the cerebral circulation in stroke patients. However, cases that appear very challenging, angiography necessary. <h3>Clinical case</h3> We present a 79-year-old male, who had severe atherosclerosis and undergone revascularization surgery, including carotid-carotid bypass left subclavian-carotid bypass. He presented emergency department with acute gait disturbance. scan revealed temporo-mesial hypodensity. CTA...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Flow diverters (FDs) have dramatically altered the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Several literature studies demonstrated safety and effectiveness individual devices. However, in clinical practice, different FDs are used, for aneurysms, ruptured unruptured. <h3>Aim Study</h3> To assess safety, long term angiographic outcomes a real-world scenario. <h3>Methods</h3> We retrospectively analyzed data from all consecutive patients with aneurysms treated at our tertiary...
