Case report: Utilization and efficacy of large-bore catheters in mechanical thrombectomies
This report focuses on the Zoom 0.088” large-bore catheter, which has the potential to be navigated into a large vessel for thrombus removal via aspiration, and weigh the risks and benefits of its utilization in thrombectomy patients. In this case, we discuss the use of this device for thrombectomy of a left M1 middle cerebral artery occlusion that resulted in a distal left MCA dissection and eventual loss of access to the site of the thrombus. Ultimately, the patient died from a large stroke in the left MCA territory. In light of this occurrence, we seek to explore the utility and feasibility of large-bore catheters and...

Podoplanin: A potential therapeutic target for thrombotic diseases
As a specific lymphatic marker and a key ligand of C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2), podoplanin (Pdpn) is involved in various physiological and pathological processes such as growth and development, respiration, blood coagulation, lymphangiogenesis, angiogenesis, and inflammation. Thrombotic diseases constitute a major cause of disability and mortality in adults, in which thrombosis and inflammation play a crucial role. Recently, increasing evidence demonstrates the distribution and function of this glycoprotein in thrombotic diseases such as atherosclerosis, ischemic stroke, venous thrombosis, ischemic-reperfusion i...

The efficacy of stereotactic minimally invasive thrombolysis at different catheter positions in the treatment of small- and medium-volume basal ganglia hemorrhage (SMITDCP I): a randomized, controlled, and blinded endpoint phase 1 trial
ConclusionStereotactic minimally invasive puncture combined with urokinase for the treatment of small- and medium-volume hemorrhage in the basal ganglia, including catheterization through the long axis of the hematoma, led to significantly better drainage effects and fewer complications. However, there was no significant difference in short-term NIHSS scores between the two types of catheterization.

CT-based thrombus radiomics nomogram for predicting secondary embolization during mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion
ConclusionThis nomogram could be used to optimize the surgical MT procedure for LVO based on the risk of developing SE.

Rescue therapy after thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion due to underlying atherosclerosis: review of literature
In this review article, we summarized the current advances in rescue management for reperfusion therapy of acute ischemic stroke from large vessel occlusion due to underlying intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). It is estimated that 24–47% of patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion have underlying ICAS and superimposed in situ thrombosis. These patients have been found to have longer procedure times, lower recanalization rates, higher rates of reocclusion and lower rates of favorable outcomes than patients with embolic occlusion. Here, we discuss the most recent literature regarding the use of glyco...

The onset of cerebral infarction may be affected by differences in atmospheric pressure distribution patterns
ConclusionsCerebral embolism and cerebral thrombosis exhibited significant differences in APDPs on the day of onset. Dehydration particularly in the other high-pressure type or in the anticyclone belt type should be prevented. Further investigation should focus on the other meteorological factors.
