Vessel perforation during withdrawal of Trevo ProVue stent retriever during mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.
Abstract The authors report a case of an intracranial extravasation during the withdrawal of a Trevo ProVue stent retriever device in a patient being treated for acute ischemic stroke. An 82-year-old woman developed sudden left hemiparesis and aphasia during an urgent cardiac catheterization procedure for a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. She had a baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of at least 10 and no improvement with intravenous administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). Cerebral angiography was performed with conscious sedation, confirming an occlusion of the ...

Outcome of endovascular treatment in acute basilar artery occlusion with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score 10-19
CONCLUSIONS: EVT leads to improved outcomes compared to those with SMT alone. Younger age, absence of diabetes mellitus, higher baseline pc-ASPECTSs, and mTICI score of 2b-3 were associated with better functional outcome in the EVT group.PMID:35180699 | DOI:10.3171/2021.12.JNS212543

Clinical utility of a screening protocol for blunt cerebrovascular injury using computed tomography angiography.
CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that a CTA screening protocol for BCVI may be of clinical benefit with possible reduction in ischemic complications. The treatment of BCVI with antiplatelet agents appears to be safe. PMID: 27104846 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical application of perfusion computed tomography in neurosurgery.
Conclusions Perfusion CT provides quantitative and qualitative data that can add diagnostic and prognostic value in a number of neurosurgical disorders, and also help with clinical decision making. With emerging new technical developments in PCT, such as characterization of blood-brain barrier permeability and whole-brain PCT, this technique is expected to provide more and more insight into the pathophysiology of many neurosurgical conditions.

Outcome in adult patients with hemorrhagic moyamoya disease after combined extracranial-intracranial bypass.
Conclusions Revascularization may provide a benefit over conservative therapy for hemorrhagic MMD patients. The improvement of dilation and branch extension of AChA-PCoA might be correlated with the low rebleeding rate. PMID: 25127415 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Molsidomine for the prevention of vasospasm-related delayed ischemic neurological deficits and delayed brain infarction and the improvement of clinical outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage: a single-center clinical observational study.
CONCLUSIONS In this post hoc analysis, patients with CVS who were treated with intravenous molsidomine had a significant improvement in clinical outcome and less cerebral infarction. Molsidomine offers a promising therapeutic option in patients with severe SAH and CVS and should be assessed in a prospective study. PMID: 26162034 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Blunt cerebrovascular injuries in severe traumatic brain injury: incidence, risk factors, and evolution.
CONCLUSIONS Blunt cerebrovascular injuries are frequent after severe TBI (incidence 9.2%). The main risk factors are high-velocity lesions and injuries near cervical arteries. PMID: 27471889 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
