Vessel perforation during withdrawal of Trevo ProVue stent retriever during mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.
Abstract The authors report a case of an intracranial extravasation during the withdrawal of a Trevo ProVue stent retriever device in a patient being treated for acute ischemic stroke. An 82-year-old woman developed sudden left hemiparesis and aphasia during an urgent cardiac catheterization procedure for a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. She had a baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of at least 10 and no improvement with intravenous administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). Cerebral angiography was performed with conscious sedation, confirming an occlusion of the ...

High-frequency cortical activity associated with postischemic epileptiform discharges in an in vivo rat focal stroke model.
Conclusions These recordings provide the first intracortical evidence of a high-frequency component that could be an important element for diagnosis and intervention in postischemic epileptogenic activity. The early onset also suggests that HFOs could serve as a reliable method of detecting small epileptiform events and could be used as a consideration in deciding whether antiepileptic medications are appropriate as part of a patient's poststroke care.

Incidence and impact of stroke following surgery for low-grade gliomas.
CONCLUSIONS: Recurrent surgeries and insular tumor locations are risk factors for intraoperative strokes. Although they do not affect survival, these strokes negatively affect patient activity and performance status, mainly during the first 3 postoperative months, with gradual functional improvement over 1 year. Several intraoperative parameters may suggest the impending development of an infarct. PMID: 31881532 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Quantitative analysis of the effect of institutional case volume on complications after surgical clipping of unruptured aneurysms.
CONCLUSIONS Although the authors confirm that increasing case volume is associated with reduced complications after clipping of UIAs, their results suggest that the relationship between case volume and complications is not necessarily linear. Moreover, these results indicate that the effect of case volume on outcome is most evident between very-low-volume centers relative to centers with a medium-to-high volume.

Performing concurrent operations in academic vascular neurosurgery does not affect patient outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS Overall, there was a significant difference in the types of concurrent versus nonconcurrent cases, with more routine/elective cases for less sick patients scheduled in an overlapping fashion. After adjusting for patient demographics, procedure type, and clinical indicators, concurrent cases had longer procedure times, but equivalent patient outcomes, as compared with nonconcurrent vascular neurosurgical procedures.

Decompressive craniectomy using gelatin film and future bone flap replacement.
Conclusions Decompressive craniectomy repair using an absorbable gelatin film barrier facilitates subsequent cranioplasty by preventing adhesions between intracranial contents and the overlying galea aponeurotica and temporalis muscle fascia. This technique makes cranioplasty dissection faster and potentially safer, which may improve clinical outcomes. The indications for gelatin film should be expanded to include placement in the epidural space after craniectomy. PMID: 23394343 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A multicenter cohort study of early complications after cranioplasty: results of the German Cranial Reconstruction Registry
CONCLUSIONS: The authors have presented class II evidence-based data on surgery-related complications after CP and have identified specific preexisting risk factors. These results may provide additional guidance for optimized treatment of these patients.PMID:34920418 | DOI:10.3171/2021.9.JNS211549

Cortical spreading depression occurs during elective neurosurgical procedures.
CONCLUSIONS CSD can occur during elective neurosurgical procedures even in brain regions distant from the immediate operative site. ECoG monitoring with a DC-coupled full-spectrum amplifier seemed to provide the most stable signal despite significant challenges to the operating room environment. CSD may be responsible for some cases of secondary surgical injury. Though further studies on outcome related to the occurrence of these events is needed, efforts to decrease the occurrence of CSD by modification of anesthetic regimen may represent a novel target for study to increase the safety of neurosurgical procedures.

Body habitus, serum albumin, and the outcomes after craniotomy for tumor: a National Surgical Quality Improvement Program analysis.
CONCLUSIONS In this National Surgical Quality Improvement Program analysis evaluating patients who underwent craniotomy for tumor, body habitus was not associated with differential mortality or neurological complications. However, obese patients had increased odds of a major perioperative complication, primarily due to higher rates of venous thromboembolic events and surgical site infections. Preoperative hypoalbuminemia was associated with increased odds of mortality and a nonroutine hospital discharge, suggesting that serum albumin may have utility in stratifying risk preoperatively in patients undergoing craniotomy. ...

Adapting the 5-factor modified frailty index for prediction of postprocedural outcome in patients with unruptured aneurysms
CONCLUSIONS: mFI-5 and AmFI-5 represent potential predictors of procedure-related complications in unruptured aneurysm patients. After further validation, integration of these tools into clinical workflows may optimize patients for intervention.PMID:34388727 | DOI:10.3171/2021.2.JNS204420
