Case Report of a Novel Technique for Repair
of the Vertebral Artery During Cranial Surgery
AbstractSurgery of complex cranial base lesions carries a high risk of damage to
main vessels, often resulting in life-changing or even life-threatening injuries. We
describe a rapid, effective, and noninvasive application of a collagen-based
hemostatic patch to repair the vertebral artery during cranial surgery. A
61-year-old male patient underwent retrosigmoid craniotomy to remove a foramen
magnum meningioma that encased the vertebral artery. A linear incision was made
behind the ear and standard retrosigmoid craniotomy was performed with preservation
of the transverse and sigmoid sinuses. The dura was open...

Case Report of a Novel Technique for Repair of the Vertebral Artery During Cranial Surgery
We describe a rapid, effective, and noninvasive application of a collagen-based hemostatic patch to repair the vertebral artery during cranial surgery. A 61-year-old male patient underwent retrosigmoid craniotomy to remove a foramen magnum meningioma that encased the vertebral artery. A linear incision was made behind the ear and standard retrosigmoid craniotomy was performed with preservation of the transverse and sigmoid sinuses. The dura was opened in a Y-shaped fashion and the cerebellum was retracted with cerebrospinal fluid being released. Removing the exposed tumor from the artery resulted in a small arterial bleed....

Early Prophylactic Hypothermia for Patients With Severe Traumatic Injury: Premature to Close the Case
This study demonstrates that there is no role for the initiation of hypothermia during the acute phase of TBI (1, 2). However, it would be damaging to abandon the concept prematurely.
Inflammation Also Paves the Way to Tissue Repair
As soon as trauma occurs, the inflammatory cascade begins to take place. The deleterious role of inflammation in the secondary injury response is well-documented, hence the rationale to attempt early prophylactic hypothermia in TBI. However, inflammation also initiates tissue repair and regeneration (3–6). We now know that the secondary injury response accompanies the regenerating and...

Cerebral microbleeds and intracranial haemorrhage risk in patients anticoagulated for atrial fibrillation after acute ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (CROMIS-2): a multicentre observational cohort study
This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02513316. Findings Between Aug 4, 2011, and July 31, 2015, we recruited 1490 participants of whom follow-up data were available for 1447 (97%), over a mean period of 850 days (SD 373; 3366 patient-years). The symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage rate in patients with cerebral microbleeds was 9·8 per 1000 patient-years (95% CI 4·0–20·3) compared with 2·6 per 1000 patient-years (95% CI 1·1–5·4) in those without cerebral microbleeds (adjusted hazard ratio 3·67, 95% CI 1·27–10·60). Compared with the HAS-BLED score alone (C-index 0·41, 95% CI 0·29–0Â...

Mechanical thrombectomy after intravenous alteplase versus alteplase alone after stroke (THRACE): a randomised controlled trial
Publication date: Available online 23 August 2016 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): Serge Bracard, Xavier Ducrocq, Jean Louis Mas, Marc Soudant, Catherine Oppenheim, Thierry Moulin, Francis Guillemin Background Intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase alone cannot reperfuse most large-artery strokes. We aimed to determine whether mechanical thrombectomy in addition to intravenous thrombolysis improves clinical outcome in patients with acute ischaemic stroke. Methods THRACE is a randomised controlled trial done in 26 centres in France. Patients aged 18–80 years with acute ischaemic stroke and proximal cerebral artery...

Functional outcomes of pre-hospital thrombolysis in a mobile stroke treatment unit compared with conventional care: an observational registry study
This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02358772. Findings Between Feb 5, 2011, and March 5, 2015, 427 patients were treated within the STEMO vehicle and their data were entered into a pre-hospital registry. 505 patients received conventional care and their data were entered into an in-hospital thrombolysis registry. Of these, 305 patients in the STEMO group and 353 in the conventional care group met inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. 161 (53%) patients in the STEMO group versus 166 (47%) in the conventional care group had an mRS score of 1 or lower (p=0·14). Compared with conventio...

Association between brain imaging signs, early and late outcomes, and response to intravenous alteplase after acute ischaemic stroke in the third International Stroke Trial (IST-3): secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial
Publication date: Available online 27 March 2015 Source:The Lancet Neurology Background Brain scans are essential to exclude haemorrhage in patients with suspected acute ischaemic stroke before treatment with alteplase. However, patients with early ischaemic signs could be at increased risk of haemorrhage after alteplase treatment, and little information is available about whether pre-existing structural signs, which are common in older patients, affect response to alteplase. We aimed to investigate the association between imaging signs on brain CT and outcomes after alteplase. Methods IST-3 was a multicentre, randomised ...
