Optical coherence tomography findings of balloon angioplasty/stenting for in-stent restenosis after carotid artery stenting
CONCLUSIONS: OCT can detect the in-stent architecture of ISR lesions after balloon angioplasty and additional stent placement. However, which dissection should be treated by additional stent remain problematic.PMID:38347719 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241232465 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)

Standardized approach to direct first pass aspiration technique for endovascular thrombectomy: Description and initial experience with CANADAPT
CONCLUSIONS: CANADAPT represents a standardized scientific-based approach to aspiration only thrombectomy intervention. This initial study demonstrates the safety, efficiency and efficacy of this technique for use in EVT.PMID:38332478 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241230360 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)

Experimental evaluation of the plunger technique: A method of cyclic manual aspiration thrombectomy for treatment of acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The plunger technique for manual cyclic aspiration resulted in higher rates of complete ingestion and greater average % ingestions when compared to static aspiration. Increased clot ingestion can result in a higher rate of complete reperfusion during the first aspiration attempt, maximizing the number of patients with good clinical outcomes.PMID:38321875 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241230364 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)

A rare dissecting anterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm treated with flow diversion using a silk vista baby device
CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge this is the first published case of flow diversion in the(?) AICA to treat a dissecting aneurysm. The introduction of Silk Vista Baby and similar future devices is likely to widen the scope of aneurysm treatment utilizing flow diversion in distal distribution with small parent arteries.PMID:38264953 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241227467 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)

Patients' perceptions on outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: A wide range of acceptable outcomes were reported regardless of gender or age. However, race was associated with different acceptable outcome. This is an important finding to demonstrate because of the persistent racial and ethnic disparities in the utilization of endovascular therapy for acute stroke in the United States.PMID:38258391 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241227262 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)

Overestimation of ischemic core on baseline MRI in acute stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Overestimation of ischemic core, known as ghost core, is rare using severe ADC threshold (≤620 × 10-6 mm2/s), but it does occur in nearly 1 of every 25 patients, confined to hyperacute patients imaged within 120 min of symptom onset. Awareness of this phenomenon carries implications for treatment and trial enrollment.PMID:38258456 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231224500 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)

Endovascular thrombectomy for posterior cerebral artery strokes in the national inpatient sample (EaT PeCANpIeS) study
CONCLUSIONS: This analysis shows that current national practices utilize EVT for more severe PCA strokes. Clinical benefit was only detected in patients with moderate stroke severity (NIHSS 10-19) who were treated with combined EVT and IVT. Further work is needed to investigate the features of PCA-AIS that might benefit from EVT the most.PMID:38258468 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231223535 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)
