Critical evaluation of the modified Rankin Scale for assessment of the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy: A retrospective comparison between the modified Rankin Scale and functional independence measure
CONCLUSION: The study showed that the percentage of independent patients is significantly reduced when we evaluated the patients by the FIM. In addition, there are some differences in the clinical background that led to a good outcome between that evaluated by mRS and FIM.PMID:37431195 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231185635

Multicenter comparison of antiplatelet treatment strategies for urgent/emergent neuroendovascular stenting
CONCLUSION: The optimal timing of antiplatelet administration in relation to stent placement and route of administration of antiplatelet agents is unclear. Timing and route of administration of antiplatelet agents may have an effect on thrombosis in emergent neuroendovascular stenting. Significant practice variation exists in antiplatelet agent utilization in emergent neuroendovascular stenting.PMID:37402388 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231180003

Ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in stent-assisted coil embolization of unruptured intracranial aneurysms
CONCLUSION: Compared to the clopidogrel based regimen, ticagrelor can also reduce TEs without increasing bleeding tendency for SACE of UIAs. Ticagrelor combined with low-dose aspirin is a safe and effective alternative option for SACE.PMID:34792425 | DOI:10.1177/15910199211054959

Use of intravenous cangrelor and stenting in acute ischemic stroke interventions: a new single center analysis and pooled-analysis of current studies
CONCLUSIONS: IV cangrelor during acute ischemic stroke intervention appears to be safe, with a symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage rate of 6.2%. More research is needed to determine the ideal dosing regimen.PMID:33945341 | DOI:10.1177/15910199211014417

Favorable first-pass recanalization rates with NeVa ™ thrombectomy device in acute stroke patients: Initial clinical experience.
CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, the NeVa™ device demonstrated high first-pass and overall recanalization rates along with a good safety profile. PMID: 32615827 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Predictors of intracranial hemorrhage in acute ischemic stroke after endovascular thrombectomy.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with diabetes mellitus were vulnerable to hemorrhagic transformation, whereas those who underwent several attempts of thrombectomy were susceptible to isolated subarachnoid hemorrhage. Both hemorrhage types worsened the functional outcome. Treatment with the stent retriever was significantly associated with postprocedural isolated subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Endovascular treatment for acute carotid T and carotid non-T occlusion: A retrospective multicentre study of 81 patients.
CONCLUSION: Patients with carotid non-T occlusion more frequently had a background of intracranial internal carotid artery stenosis or arterial dissection than patients with carotid T occlusion. Specific treatment strategies should be developed to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with carotid non-T occlusion. PMID: 31072250 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Acute administration of tirofiban versus aspirin in emergent carotid artery stenting.
CONCLUSIONS: Tirofiban and aspirin demonstrated similar efficacy and safety in thrombolyzed stroke patients who underwent eCAS in our cohort. Intravenous tirofiban with its short half-life might represent an alternative to aspirin in select patients. PMID: 30394839 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Safety profile of an 8F femoral arteriotomy closure using the Angio-Seal device in thrombolysed acute stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy.
Conclusion Use of the Angio-Seal closure device for 8F femoral access is safe in acute stroke patients. Intravenous thrombolysis prior to endovascular thrombectomy does not significantly alter femoral access site complication rate if this approach is used.

Embolic stroke secondary to spontaneous thrombosis of unruptured intracranial aneurysm: Report of three cases.
We present the clinical outcome and radiological characteristics of three patients with spontaneous thrombosis of intracranial aneurysms as a cause of ischemic stroke. This information is relevant given the possible benign history in terms of stroke recurrence and risk of bleeding. PMID: 26647229 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
