E-054 Correlation between Thrombus Density and Recanalization or Stroke Etiology in Acute Ischemic Stroke
ConclusionIn conclusion, our study found no relationship between thrombus attenuation and recanalization success or stroke etiology. While prior studies have suggested that higher attenuation is associated with good recanalization, our study could not find such a link.4 More studies are required to identify factors that predict successful recanalization in acute ischemic stroke patients.DisclosuresM.

Middle cerebral artery fusiform aneurysm presented with stroke and delayed subarachnoid hemorrhage trapping, thrombectomy, and bypass.
CONCLUSION: Our case describes a complex aneurysm treatment that consisted of aneurysm trapping, thrombus removal and an STA-M3 MCA branch bypass creation for the protection of the patent M3 insular MCA branch and prevention of further ischemia. This procedure rewarded us with an excellent clinical result. PMID: 27127709 [PubMed]

Midbrain and bilateral paramedian thalamic stroke due to artery of Percheron occlusion
Conclusion Bilateral thalamic stroke due to artery of Percheron occlusion is a rare presentation of stroke, which can be overlooked in routine CT scan. If diagnosed, it requires further evaluation for stroke risk factors, especially cardiovascular disorders associated with increased embolic risk.

Evaluation of Cerebral Perfusion in Patients Undergoing Intravenous Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator Thrombolysis.
Authors: Hirano T Abstract Currently, the indication for thrombolytic therapy using intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is restricted strictly to patients with acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 h of onset. The effect of rt-PA declines over time; therefore, we need to minimize the time delay while generating imaging information. The use of cerebral blood flow imaging is not recommended within this time window. Conversely, the balance of efficacy and the risk of bleeding complications differ among patients > 4.5 h after onset. Several ongoing studies are using mismatch concepts to extend th...

Acute Stroke After Carotid Endarterectomy: Time for a Paradigm Shift? Multicenter Experience With Emergent Carotid Artery Stenting With or Without Intracranial Tandem Occlusion Thrombectomy
CONCLUSION: Emergent endovascular evaluation in the setting of acute post--carotid endarterectomy thrombosis is a safe and timely treatment option, with the benefit of detecting and treating embolic intracranial lesions. Immediate angiography and intervention in this rare surgical complication show promising initial results.

Complete spontaneous thrombosis and recanalization of a ruptured posterior cerebral artery aneurysm.
Abstract Complete spontaneous thrombosis followed by recanalization of non-giant aneurysms is a rare event that can be discovered incidentally on advanced neural images. In this case report, the authors described a woman who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and left posterior cerebral artery (PCA) territory ischemic stroke. Cerebral angiography revealed a left PCA aneurysm at the P1-P2 junction. The patient received conservative treatment and repeated cerebral angiography 4 weeks later demonstrated the disappeared aneurysm. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contrast-enhanced computed tomo...

Successful outcome after traumatic rupture and secondary thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus
A 15-year-old adolescent was admitted to the emergency department after a car accident because of severe traumatic brain injury. Upon arrival, he was sedated and intubated because of a Glasgow Coma Scale score below 8. He had isocoria with reactive pupils. An occipital puncture wound (diameter 2 cm) was profusely bleeding. His blood pressure was 85/45 mm Hg. Laboratory values identified a haemoglobin level of 4.6 mmol/l. A CT scan of the brain demonstrated a comminuted-depressed fracture of the parietal bone in the midline with a rupture of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) and secondary thrombosis (fig...
