E-187 Pipeline embolization stent for treatment of giant supraclinoid aneurysms: a case series
ConclusionThe Pipeline embolization device is a novel technique that can be utilized for treatment of giant cerebrovascular aneurysms with emerging evidence of immediate and long-term success. Further patient enrollment and clinical trials will be required to assess its efficacy in comparison to other endovascular and surgical approaches for the treatment of giant aneurysms.Disclosures M.

Abstract 232: Parenteral Antihypertensive Use on the First Day of Hospitalization after Acute Ischemic Stroke: A US Population Study Poster Session II
Conclusion: Approximately 16% of AIS patients receive IV AH medication in the first 24 hours of admission in the US. The rate of early AH treatment has increased over time both overall and among those who did not receive rt-PA. Whether this is due to increasingly aggressive BP treatment by physicians or higher BP on admission among AIS patients is unclear. Contrary to recommendations, nicardipine was used infrequently. More evidence is required to justify specific AH agents for BP treatment in AIS.
