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...

Outflow cannula alignment in continuous flow left ventricular devices is associated with stroke
Int J Artif Organs. 2023 Mar 9:3913988231154284. doi: 10.1177/03913988231154284. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe sought to evaluate whether differences in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) canula alignment are associated with stroke. There is a paucity of clinical data on contribution of LVAD canulae alignment to strokes. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent LVAD implantation at Houston Methodist hospital from 2011 to 2016 and included those who had undergone cardiac computed tomography (CT) with contrast. LVAD graft alignment using X-ray, echocardiography, and cardiac CT was evaluated. The ...

MRI for all: Cheap portable scanners aim to revolutionize medical imaging
.news-article__hero--featured .parallax__element{ object-position: 47% 50%; -o-object-position: 47% 50%; } The patient, a man in his 70s with a shock of silver hair, lies in the neuro intensive care unit (neuro ICU) at Yale New Haven Hospital. Looking at him, you’d never know that a few days earlier a tumor was removed from his pituitary gland. The operation didn’t leave a mark because, as is standard, surgeons reached the tumor through his nose. He chats cheerfully with a pair of research associates who have come to check his progress with a new and potentially revolutionary device they are testing. The cylind...

ASPECT Score and Its Application to Vasospasm in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage: a Case –Control Study
AbstractDelayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI) is a significant complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) and is strongly associated with poorer outcome. The Alberta Stroke Program Early Computer Tomography (ASPECT) score is an established scoring tool, used in acute ischaemic stroke, to quantify early ischaemic changes on CT head scans. We aim to identify if ASPECT scoring correlates with functional outcome in DCI following aSAH. Retrospective case –control study. Inclusion criteria: admission to the Department of Neurosurgery at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (a tertiary neurosurgical centre in the Unite...

E-023 Predictors of outcomes in tandem anterior circulation occlusions following mechanical thrombectomy
In this study, we present outcomes of patients undergoing tandem mechanical thrombectomy. We demonstrate that stenting is associated with improved final reperfusion, but increased odds of asymptomatic ICH. Additional clinical trials should be performed to optimize the procedure and improve patient outcomes.Disclosures J. Catapano: None. D. Farhadi: None. A. Naik: None. S. Koester: None. E.

Clinical characteristics, multiorgan dysfunction and outcomes of patients with COVID-19: a prospective case series
This study provides further evidence that COVID-19 is a multisystem disease involving neurologic, cardiac and thrombotic dysfunction, without evidence of hepatic dysfunction. Patients have persistent organ dysfunction after hospital discharge, underscoring the need for research on long-term outcomes of COVID-19 survivors.PMID:35853662 | DOI:10.9778/cmajo.20210151

Pilot Report for Intracranial Hemorrhage Detection with Deep Learning Implanted Head Computed Tomography Images at Emergency Department
AbstractHemorrhagic stroke is a serious clinical condition that requires timely diagnosis. An artificial intelligence algorithm system called DeepCT can identify hemorrhagic lesions rapidly from non-contrast head computed tomography (NCCT) images and has received regulatory clearance.  A non-controlled retrospective pilot clinical trial was conducted. Patients who received NCCT at the emergency department (ED) of Kaohsiung Veteran General Hospital were collected. From 2020 January-1st to April-30th, the physicians read NCCT images without DeepCT. From 2020May-1st to August-31st, the physicians were assisted by DeepCT. The...
