Mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke with tandem occlusions: impact of extracranial carotid lesion etiology on endovascular management and outcome
CONCLUSIONS: ECL etiology impacts both EVT approach and clinical outcome in patients with TOs. Patients with CD-related TO achieved higher 3-month functional independence rates than patients with CA-related TOs. A retrograde approach can be desirable for both CA- and CD-related TOs, and emergency stenting is likely better justified in CA-related TOs.PMID:34198245 | DOI:10.3171/2021.4.FOCUS21111

Treatment and outcomes of ARUBA-eligible patients with unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations at a single institution.
Conclusions The risk of stroke or death and degree of clinical impairment among treated patients was lower than reported in ARUBA. The authors found no significant difference in outcomes between observed and treated ARUBA-eligible patients at UCSF. Results in ARUBA-eligible patients managed outside that trial led to an entirely different conclusion about AVM intervention, due to the primary role of surgery, judicious surgical selection with established outcome predictors, and technical expertise developed at high-volume AVM centers.

Neuroprotective delivery platforms as an adjunct to mechanical thrombectomy.
Abstract Despite the success of numerous neuroprotective strategies in animal and preclinical stroke models, none have effectively translated to clinical medicine. A multitude of influences are likely responsible. Two such factors are inefficient recanalization strategies for large vessel occlusions and suboptimal delivery methods/platforms for neuroprotective agents. The recent endovascular stroke trials have established a new paradigm for large vessel stroke treatment. The associated advent of advanced mechanical revascularization devices and new stroke technologies help address each of these existing gaps. A st...

Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis: time to rethink our therapeutic options?
Abstract Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is a well-recognized risk factor for ischemic stroke, and its prevalence increases with age. In the late 1980s and in the 1990s, well-designed randomized trials established a definite advantage for carotid endarterectomy in reducing the risk of ipsilateral stroke when compared with medical therapy alone. However, medical treatment of cardiovascular disease has improved significantly over the past 2 decades, and this has, in turn, resulted in a decline of the stroke risk in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis treated medically. This improvement in medical...
