Safety and Efficacy Profile of Off-Label Use of the Pipeline Embolization Device: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
It has been more than ten years since the initial Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first flow diverters (FDs) for treating brain aneurysms.1 The approval of these devices was made possible due to the safety and efficacy demonstrated in both the single-arm Pipeline Embolization Device(PED) for the intracranial treatment of aneurysm trial2 and the Pipeline for Uncoilable or Failed aneurysms (PUFs) trial.3,4 The FDA initially approved the indications for the flow diverters based on the inclusion criteria of the PED for the intracranial treatment of aneurysms trial (PITA) and extrapolated from its results. (Sour...

Understanding the Relationship Between Social Risk Factors and Functional Limitation among Stroke Survivors in the US
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and disability in the United States. Social risk factors contribute to recovery from stroke, however the relationship between social risk factors and functional limitation among stroke survivors remains unknown.

Non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in aplastic or twig-like middle cerebral artery: a case report and literature review
Aplastic or twig-like middle cerebral artery (Ap/T-MCA) is a rare vascular anomaly that can cause hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Ap/T-MCA can induce aneurysms due to the fragility of the vessel wall, consequently leading to subarachnoid hemorrhage. Herein, we report a case of Ap/T-MCA with subarachnoid hemorrhage without an aneurysm. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Mechanism of scutellarin inhibition of astrocyte activation to type A1 after ischemic stroke
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of scutellarin on the activation of astrocytes into the A1 type following cerebral ischemia and to explore the underlying mechanism. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Neuregulin 1 as a Potential Biomarker for Disease Progression in Moyamoya Disease: A Case-Control Study in Chinese Population
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare and progressive stenosis of cerebral arteries characterized by abnormally proliferative vasculopathy. Current studies have demonstrated that Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) plays a key role in angiogenesis-related disorders. Thus, the aim of our study is to investigate the serum NRG1 levels and their clinical correlations in MMD patients. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)

Optimizing Workflow of Urgent Stroke Endovascular Intervention: A Focused Lean Six Sigma Project
: Urgent endovascular intervention is currently accepted as the primary and critical therapeutic approach to patients whose acute ischemic stroke results from a large arterial occlusion (LAO). In this context, one of the quality metrics most widely applied to the assessment of emergency systems performance is the “door-to-puncture” (D-P) time. We undertook a project to identify the subinterval of the D-P metric causing the most impact on workflow delays and created a narrowly focused project on improving such subinterval.

Sex-Specific Racial and Ethnic Variations in Short-Term Outcomes Among Patients with First or Recurrent Ischemic Stroke: Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program, 2016-2020
Background and Purpose: To understand the association of sex-specific race and ethnicity on the short-term outcomes of initial and recurrent ischemic stroke events. Methods: Using the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program from 2016-2020, we examined 426,062 ischemic stroke admissions from 629 hospitals limited to non-Hispanic White (NHW), non-Hispanic Black (NHB), and Hispanic patients. We performed multivariate logistic regression analyses to assess the combined effects of sex-specific race and ethnicity on short-term outcomes for acute ischemic stroke patients presenting with initial or recurrent stroke events. (S...

High frequency neuronavigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in post-stroke shoulder pain: A double-blinded, randomized controlled study
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability among adults (1). Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) is one of the most common complications after stroke (2). It is an important problem that prolongs hospital stay, limits independence in activities of daily living, prevents rehabilitation and is associated with low quality of life and depression in stroke patients (3). The exact aetiology of shoulder pain after stroke is often difficult to determine. Many possible underlying causes have been identified, including rotator cuff lesions, biceps tendinopathy, soft tissue disorders such as myofascial pain, glenohumeral sublux...

Utility of the triglyceride-glucose index for predicting restenosis following revascularization surgery for extracranial carotid artery stenosis: A retrospective cohort study
Revascularization of extracranial carotid artery stenosis (ECAS) is an effective strategy to prevent ischemic stroke1. The most important mechanism leading to ECAS and ensuing stroke is rupture of atherosclerotic plaques, which are frequently located at the carotid artery bifurcation in the neck. After rupture, plaque lipid components are exposed to the blood vessel lumen, resulting in platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. Eventually, these thrombi detach from the vessel wall and block downstream arteries, leading to ischemic stroke2. (Source: Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases)
