P005/44 Using the pEGASUS-stent with antithrombogenic properties and single antiplatelet therapy in a case of thrombectomy
IntroductionRescue stenting is used more and more in stroke cases with large-vessel-occlusion or medium-vessel-occlusion refractory to mechanical thrombectomy. The pEGASUS-stent(Phenox) represents a device which is equipped with a hydrophilic polymer coating(HPC) with antithrombogenic properties. The coating allows for implantation under single antiplatelet therapy, thus possibly reducing the risk of bleeding in acute stroke cases.Case HistoryA 79-year-old woman was rushed to emergency room due to left-sided hemiparesis and National-Institutes-of-Health-Stroke-Scale(NIHSS) of 14. Computed-tomography-image showed an occlusi...

Case report: Mechanical thrombectomy for acute basilar artery occlusion via persistent hypoglossal artery
Persistent hypoglossal artery (PHA) is a rare carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomosis in adults. Here, we report a case of mechanical thrombectomy for acute basilar artery occlusion via the PHA. A 44-year-old man was admitted to our stroke unit with an unstable gait and aphasia for 2 h. The baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 4, but the clinical symptoms continued to worsen. Computed tomography angiography showed the absence of the basilar artery and an abnormal anastomosis between the anterior and posterior circulation. Clinical symptoms continued to worsen, and endovascular treatment was sch...

Investigation of Mechanical Thrombectomy in Elderly Patients over 85 Years Old: A Multicenter Study
This study examined the usefulness of thrombectomy in the elderly. We retrospectively analyzed patient data using a multicenter acute ischemic stroke registry (NGT-FAST). We examined outcomes in patients 75 years and older who underwent thrombectomies between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. The patients were divided into two groups: the 75-84-year-old group and the 85+-year-old group. There was no difference in the pretreatment National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score or Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score between the two groups, but the 85+-year-old group had a significantly lower rate o...

Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Common Carotid Artery Occlusion
Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo). 2023 Jan 5. doi: 10.2176/jns-nmc.2022-0183. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the standard treatment for acute large occlusion of the cerebral artery. Evidence for the success of this procedure was based on the treatment of patients with internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery thrombi. There are a few reports on thrombi extending to the common carotid artery (CCA). We document our endovascular procedure and the clinical outcome in seven consecutive patients who underwent MT for CCA thrombi between September 2016 and April 2021. Their mean National Institutes o...
