Switching Strategy for Mechanical Thrombectomy of Acute Large Vessel Occlusion in the Anterior Circulation Brief Reports
Conclusions— A switching strategy using 2 mechanical thrombectomy techniques (forced arterial suction thrombectomy to Solitaire) may harbor better angiographic outcomes than a 1 technique only strategy (forced arterial suction thrombectomy).

Higher Risk of Recurrent Ischemic Events in Patients With Intracranial In-Stent Restenosis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In-stent restenosis after stenting of intracranial atherosclerosis is significantly associated with an increased risk and an earlier occurrence of recurrent ischemic events in the territory of the stented intracranial artery.

Admission Insular Infarction >25% Is the Strongest Predictor of Large Mismatch Loss in Proximal Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Admission insular infarction >25% is the strongest predictor of large mismatch loss in this cohort of proximal middle cerebral artery occlusive stroke. This outcome marker may help to identify treatment-eligible patients who are in greatest need of rapid reperfusion therapy.

Good Outcome Rate of 35% in IV-tPA-Treated Patients With Computed Tomography Angiography Confirmed Severe Anterior Circulation Occlusive Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— IV-tPA treatment resulted in significantly better outcomes in patients with severely symptomatic stroke with major anterior circulation occlusions. The 35% good outcome rate was similar to rates found in endovascular therapy trials. Vascular imaging may help in patient selection and stratification for trials of IV-thrombolytic and endovascular therapies.

Prognostic Evaluation Based on Cortical Vein Score Difference in Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The Prognostic Evaluation based on Cortical vein score difference In Stroke score, a novel measure of venous enhancement on CT angiography, accurately predicts clinical outcomes. Venous features on computed tomography angiography provide additional characterization of collateral perfusion and prognostication in acute ischemic stroke.

External Validation of the Secondary Intracerebral Hemorrhage Score in The Netherlands Brief Reports
Conclusions— The discriminative ability and calibration of the secondary ICH score are moderate in a university hospital setting outside the United States. Clues on noncontrast computed tomography are the strongest predictor of a macrovascular cause in patients with ICH.

Incidence of Venous Thromboembolism in the Wake of the Clots in Legs Or sTockings after Stroke (CLOTS) Study Brief Reports
Conclusions— Discontinuation of compressive stockings did not increase venous thromboembolism incidence. There was a trend toward more deep vein thrombosis and fewer PEs after CLOTS, which might be because of increased clinical vigilance in the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis, but a chance variation cannot be excluded.

Single Subcortical Infarction and Atherosclerotic Plaques in the Middle Cerebral Artery: High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Compared with dSSI, pSSI is closely associated with large lesions, severe clinical symptoms, and superiorly located MCA plaques, suggesting that the location, rather than simple presence of plaques, determines the SSI location.

Styloid and Hyoid Bone Proximity Is a Risk Factor for Cervical Carotid Artery Dissection Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Shorter distances between the styloid and ICA (and possibly also the hyoid and the ICA) are important risk factors for CAD. Further study is needed to determine whether dissections result from direct injury to the outer vessel wall of the carotid artery.

Importance of Cerebral Artery Recanalization in Patients With Stroke With and Without Neurological Improvement After Intravenous Thrombolysis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Recanalization of an occluded artery in acute stroke is associated with favorable functional outcome both in patients with and without NI after IVT. In future evaluations of mechanical thrombectomy and other additional strategies, recanalization should be considered in patients with persisting occlusion after IVT even after significant NI.
