Endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke in patients with active malignancy: a meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis
Conclusion Although a quarter of patients with active malignancy and AIS regained functional independence, physicians and patients should consider whether to apply EVT in patients with active malignancy.

E-107 Carotid artery stenting in patients with symptomatic non-stenotic carotid artery disease - a case series
ConclusionsIn this case series performed over a 10-year period at a high-volume stroke center we show that CAS is safe and efficient in patients with SyNC. Previous studies have established safety and effectiveness of CES in patients presenting with SyNC, however there is a paucity of reports in the literature regarding the effect of CAS in this patient population. Recent guidelines have brought specific attention to high-risk plaque characteristics which suggest that plaque instability plays a major role in the onset of ischemic events, regardless of lumen narrowing. Advanced imaging techniques, such as Optical Coherence ...

E-025 The rate and predictors of 30-day readmission in patients treated for cerebral aneurysms: a large single-center study
ConclusionIn our study, risk factors for 30-day readmission were increasing BMI, cancer, increasing aneurysm width, and anticoagulation use. Future studies should focus on aneurysm dimensions and the use of blood thinners as the literature pertaining these predictors is still scarce.Abstract E-025 Table 1 Variables N(%) 30-day Readmission 36 (6.6) Cause of Readmission: Infection Stroke Re-Rupture Wound Dehiscence Seizures CSF Leak Hydrocephalus Headache Wound Area Swelling Groin Hematoma Pseudo meningocele 9 (25)11 (30.6)1 (2.8)1 (2.8)1 (2.8)1 (2.8)1 (2.8)7 (19.4)2 (5.6)1 (2.8)1 (2.8) Causes and Rate of ReadmissionAbstrac...

Endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke in patients with cancer: a propensity-matched analysis
Conclusions In propensity matched analysis of patients undergoing EVT for AIS with and without cancer, 90-day functional outcomes and mortality were similar. However, there was a significantly higher rate of HT in cancer patients.

O-062 Clinical outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke in patients with active cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionOn meta-analysis, patients with current malignancy experience inferior outcomes after embolectomy with respect to hemorrhage, functional independence, and mortality in spite of recanalization results similar to non-cancer patients. Further research is needed to optimize endovascular management for this sub-population of stroke.Disclosures D. Schartz: None. M. Bender: None. G. Kohli: None. S. Akkipeddi: None. N. Ellens: None. T.
