<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Successful vessel recanalization in posterior circulation large-vessel occlusion is considered crucial, though the evidence of clinical usefulness, compared with anterior circulation, not still determined. The aim this study was to evaluate predictors favorable outcome and analyze effect first-pass thrombectomy. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> A retrospective, multicenter, observational conducted 10 high-volume stroke centers Europe, including period from January...
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...
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) with emergent carotid artery stenting (eCAS) has been suggested to provide greater benefits for patients tandem lesions (TL), but there is uncertainty about the most appropriate peri-procedural antiplatelet therapy at higher risk of brain hemorrhage. This study aimed assess safety intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in acute TL undergoing MT eCAS. The databases 17 stroke centers were retrospectively screened consecutive who underwent and Propensity score matching...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Purpose:</bold> Treating small-caliber vessel aneurysms with flow diverters presents challenges due to narrow luminal diameters and tortuous vasculature, which make navigation deployment of conventional devices using standard microcatheters more difficult. The Silk Vista Baby (SVB, Balt, Montmorency, France) diverter was developed treat intracranial located in smaller vessels or distal lesions is compatible 0.017″ microcatheters. We present the largest...
Recent randomized trials have shown the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) also in patients with an established large ischemic core.
Brain arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) is a congenital defect affecting brain microvasculature, characterized by direct shunt from arterioles to venules. Germline mutations in several genes related transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β)/BMP signaling are linked both sporadic and hereditary phenotypes. However, the low incidence of inherited cases makes genetic bases disease unclear. To increase this knowledge, we performed whole exome sequencing on five patients, DNA purified peripheral...
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is currently the gold standard treatment for ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). However, evidence of clinical usefulness MT in posterior circulation LVO (pc-LVO) still doubtful compared anterior circulation, especially patients with mild neurological symptoms. The database 10 high-volume centers Europe, including a period three year and half, was screened an acute basilar artery or single dominant vertebral ("functional" BAO) presenting NIHSS...
The aim of our study was to find predictors parenchymal hematoma (PH) and clinical outcome after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) baseline infarct.The databases 16 stroke centers were retrospectively screened for anterior circulation LVO Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) ≤5 that received MT. Procedural parameters, including the number passes during first second technique MT, recorded. Outcome measures occurrence PH type 2 any 90-day...
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) along with emergent carotid stent placement (eCAS) has been suggested to have a greater benefit in patients tandem lesions (TL), compared other strategies of treatment. Nonetheless, there is no agreement on whether the intracranial occlusion should be treated before cervical ICA lesion, or vice versa. In this retrospective multicenter study, we sought compare clinical and procedural outcomes 2 different treatment approaches TL. The prospective databases 17...
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to basilar artery occlusion (BAO) represents 1-4% of all strokes. BAO results in strokes associated with a high risk poor functional outcome and, 86-95% the untreated cases, it death because vital cerebral structures involved. Diagnosis can be delayed variability presenting symptoms, and acute treatment is often attempted even beyond 6 h from symptoms onset fatal prognosis.In this observational study, we retrospectively analyzed patients AIS referred center...
Background Data about the safety and efficacy of flow diversion for distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms are limited. We present largest multicenter analysis evaluating outcomes in unruptured DACA aneurysm treatment. Methods Databases from 39 centers were retrospectively reviewed treated with flow-diverting stents. Demographics, clinical presentation, radiographic characteristics, procedural complications, assessed. Results A total 168 patients between January 2018 December 2022....
Background: Vascular intracranial stenosis (IS) is a significant cause of acute ischemic stroke (AIS).This singlecenter study aims to show that symptomatic IS treatment by using the Neuroform Atlas stent (Stryker neurovascular, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) could be effective in reducing vessel stenosis.Methods: Ten patients affected AIS or TIA, vascular territory high-grade atherosclerotic lesions (>70% stenosis), older than 18-year-old, were treated implanting (diameter 4.5mm 80% and 4mm 20%).70%...
Endovascular therapy (EVT) is the standard treatment for ischemic stroke caused by a large vessel occlusion (LVO). The effectiveness of EVT distal medium occlusions (MDVOs) still uncertain, but newer, smaller devices show potential in MDVOs. new Solitaire X 3 mm device offers option Our study encompassed consecutive cases primary and secondary MDVOs treated with stent-retriever as first-line between January December 2022 at 12 European centers. endpoint was first-pass near-complete or...
This study investigates the impact of general anesthesia (GA) versus conscious sedation/local (CS/LA) on outcome patients with minor stroke and isolated M2 occlusion undergoing immediate mechanical thrombectomy (iMT). The databases 16 comprehensive centers were retrospectively screened for consecutive a baseline National Institute Health Stroke Scale score ≤ 5 who received iMT. Propensity matching (PSM) was used to estimate effect GA CS/LA clinical procedure-related adverse events. Primary...
Posterior circulation acute ischaemic stroke in childhood is a rare but life-threatening disease. We describe paediatric case of 17-year-old Indian boy who was admitted to our centre for headache, nausea, vomiting, asthenia, and fever two days. Computed tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance (MRA) digital subtraction (DSA) were performed, showing thrombotic occlusion the basilar artery due focal dissection into proximal third left vertebral artery. In multidisciplinary fashion, we...
