Corrective spinal surgery may be protective against stroke in patients with blunt traumatic vertebral artery occlusion.
CONCLUSIONS Traumatic VA occlusion is associated with a risk of ischemic stroke and mortality. Corrective cervical spine surgery potentially decreases the risk of ischemic stroke by stabilizing the spine and thereby reducing motion across the occluded segment of the VA and preventing embolization of thrombus. While a high stoke risk may be inherent to the disease, novel therapies should be investigated. PMID: 26186525 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

E-189 Outcomes of tenecteplase versus alteplase after mechanical thrombectomy in a multiethnic stroke consortium registry
ConclusionIn this prospective, multi-center stroke consortium study, IV TNK in comparison to tPA prior to MT for ischemic stroke resulted in non-inferior outcomes related to angiographic reperfusion and functional status at discharge. These findings compliment the current literature and include a large Hispanic US cohort. Further analysis will include expansion of contributing centers and use of propensity scoring.Abstract E-189 Table 1 and 2Disclosures M. Gaub: None. D. Ramaswamy: None. A. Cardentey: None. S.

E-096 COVID status is related to clot burden during thrombectomy in acute stroke patients
ConclusionOf 230 patients included in this interim analysis across 24 centers in the United States, between 02/2021 and 01/2022, 16 patients had a history of COVID. Comparing COVID-positive to non-positive, patients with COVID were younger (median 66.5 years vs 71.5 years, p 0.042), and had more intracranial clot by weight (median 101.0 mg vs 42.0 mg, p 0.047). There was a trend toward COVID positive patients to have more clot volume (median 180 cc vs 77.5 cc p 0.08), suggesting the difference was a higher clot burden instead of more density to the thrombus. These results suggest different histopathological characteristics...

Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: a systematic review
Conclusions EMT is an effective salvage therapy for refractory CVST, with a reasonable safety profile. Chemical thrombolysis, in conjunction with EMT, did not appear to result in additional harm or benefit. Further analysis is warranted to determine predictors of success after EMT for CVST.

P-001 Permanent Implantation of the Solitaire Device as a Bailout Technique for Large Vessel Intracranial Occlusions
ConclusionWith the recent over-whelming evidence demonstrating the effectiveness endovascular therapy in acute ischemic stroke, the expansion of stroke therapy requires that a variety of techniques be available to the operators. Permanent implantation of the Solitaire stent achieves adequate distal flow and good clinical outcomes in the setting of AIS. This case series suggests this technique provides a safe alternative for difficult cases refractory to other revascularization techniques.Key Wordsstroke, revascularization, stentDisclosuresJ.

O-035 Endovascular treatment of cerebral venous thrombosis involving the deep venous system
ConclusionsAlthough deep venous involvement of CVT is uncommon, these patients are at risk of quickly becoming critically ill with an elevated rate of death or dependency. Although these patients may develop stroke, hemorrhage, or neurologic decline prompting consideration of endovascular therapy, the deep cerebral venous system is not easily accessible with catheters due to small lumens and risk of perforation. It has been proposed that deep cerebral veins may have a higher chance of recanalization if venous thrombus burden is reduced in other parts of the dural venous sinuses. Current literature has not fully explored th...

Outcomes after coverage of lenticulostriate vessels by flow diverters: a multicenter experience.
CONCLUSIONSThe use and versatility of flow diversion is increasing, and safety data are continuing to accumulate. Here, the authors provide early data on the safety of covering lenticulostriate vessels with flow diverters. The authors concluded that the coverage of these perforators does not routinely lead to clinically significant ischemia when dual antiplatelet therapy is continued for 6 months. Further evaluation is needed in larger cohorts and with imaging follow-up as experience develops in using these devices in more distal circulation. PMID: 30641842 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Emergent intracranial surgical embolectomy in conjunction with carotid endarterectomy for acute internal carotid artery terminus embolic occlusion and tandem occlusion of the cervical carotid artery due to plaque rupture.
Abstract Acute internal carotid artery (ICA) terminus occlusion is associated with extremely poor functional outcomes or mortality, especially when it is caused by plaque rupture of the cervical ICA with engrafted thrombus that elongates and extends into the ICA terminus. The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgical embolectomy in conjunction with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for acute ICA terminus occlusion associated with cervical plaque rupture resulting in tandem occlusion. A retrospective review of medical records was performed. Clinical and radiographic characteristics were eval...

ConclusionsEndovascular repair of the MCA aneurysm inclosing those with wide neck and complex are not only safe and feasible, but associated with high long-term functional outcome. Therefore, endovascular options must be offered to patients prior to surgical clipping of a MCA aneurysm. Further study may be warranted.DisclosuresY. Lodi: None. V. Reddy: None.

O-035 Risk factors for delayed deterioration after cerebral venous thrombosis: a model to identify patients for early aggressive endovascular therapy
Conclusion We found that decreased mental status, seizure activity, papilledema, number of involved sinuses, sodium level, and platelet level to be the most important factors in predicting deterioration after CVT. This group may represent a subset of patients in who early thrombectomy may be considered. Further prospective trials are needed to confirm this hypothesis.
