Conveniently-Grasped Field Assessment Stroke Triage (CG-FAST): A Modified Scale to Detect Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke
Conclusions: CG-FAST scale could be an effective and simple scale for accurate identification of LVOS among AIS patients. Introduction Large vessel occlusion stroke (LVOS) often leads to severe disability and mortality. Although endovascular therapy (EVT) has been proved to be effective for LVOS patients (1–9), especially in anterior circulation, its benefit is highly time-dependent (10, 11). As hospitals with around-the-clock endovascular capability are scarce in many parts of the world and patients admitted directly to a CSC would have better outcomes than those receiving drip and ship treatment (12, 13), t...

Hidden Telltale Signs in Hyperacute Ischemic Stroke Caused by Aortic Dissection: A Case Report and Post Hoc Analysis
Conclusion: Hyperacute ischemic stroke caused by AD often hides some telltale signs. Clinicians should master basic clinical skills to exclude AD by looking for these telltale signs hidden in hyperacute ischemic stroke to avoid the fatal consequences of intravenous thrombolysis and/or cerebral angiography within the narrow window of time.

P-024 Balloon guide catheter use for stroke intervention: does the access site matter?
ConclusionsPatients treated with MT via TFA or sTRA had similar angiographic and clinical outcomes, differing only in the rate of crossover from one approach to another.Abstract P-024 Table 1TFA and sTRA Variable RadialN=30 FemoralN=63 P-value Age; mean (SD) 70.9 (13.9) 72.7 (11.4) 0.504 Women, n (%) 13 (43.3) 35 (55.6) 0.375 Diabetes, n (%) 7 (23.3) 18 (28.6) 0.629 Hypertension, n (%) 22 (73.3) 52 (82.5) 0.409 Hyperlipidemia, n (%) 18 (60) 30 (47.6) 0.278 Atrial fibrillation, n (%) 13 (43.3) 24 (38.1) 0.656 NIHSS at admission; mean (SD) 15 (8) 16 (6) 0.131 Intravenous alteplase, n (%) 10 (33.3) 20 (31.7) 1 ICA occlusion,...

P-030 Mechanical thrombectomy in medium vessel occlusions using the novel aspiration MIVI Q catheters: an international multicenter experience
ConclusionsTreatment of MeVO patients with Q catheters resulted in optimal angiographic and clinical outcomes. Though angiographic results were similar between primary and secondary MeVOs, the first had less severe presentation and better outcomes at 90-days than the latter.Disclosures A. Monteiro: None. L.
