Comorbidities Related to Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Undergoing Mechanical Thrombectomy: Review of Literature and Experience at a Single Comprehensive Stroke Center.
Conclusion: Hypertension, peripheral artery disease, and younger age at presentation are correlated with poor functional outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing MT. PMID: 30983896 [PubMed]

CA-UNet Segmentation Makes a Good Ischemic Stroke Risk Prediction
AbstractStroke is still the World ’s second major factor of death, as well as the third major factor of death and disability. Ischemic stroke is a type of stroke, in which early detection and treatment are the keys to preventing ischemic strokes. However, due to the limitation of privacy protection and labeling difficulties, there are only a few studies on the intelligent automatic diagnosis of stroke or ischemic stroke, and the results are unsatisfactory. Therefore, we collect some data and propose a 3D carotid Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) image segmentation model called CA-UNet for fully automated extraction o...

Prediction of intracerebral haemorrhage expansion with clinical, laboratory, pharmacologic, and noncontrast radiographic variables
ConclusionClinical and noncontrast radiographic variables only weakly predict hematoma expansion. Examination of other indicators, such as computed tomographic angiography contrast extravasation (the ‘spot sign’), may prove more valuable in acute intracerebral haemorrhage care.

Risk Factors of New Cerebral Infarctions After Endovascular Treatment for Basilar Artery Stenosis Based on High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Conclusion: The plaque characteristics are not associated with new cerebral infarctions in the distribution of BA, although a large plaque burden and positive remodeling are more likely to appear in patients with new cerebral infarctions after BA stenting, which warrants further studies with a larger sample size. As for smoking, the inverse correlation with new cerebral infarctions in the BA territory needs large-scale prospective randomized controlled trials to verify.

E-131 Transfemoral versus transradial approach for cerebral angiography: A patient preference survey
ConclusionsAt our institution, most patients preferred transradial over transfemoral approach. Most common reasons included pain, recovery time and bruising. Although the effectiveness and safety of transradial approach for non-diagnostic neurointervention remains uncertain and continues to technically evolve, it may be the best option for diagnostic angiograms considering the patients’ preference.Disclosures J.
