Predictors of 30-day mortality after endovascular mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionWe observed a moderate rate of 30-day mortality after EMT at an academic CSC. Older age, higher baseline NIHSS score, higher NIHSS score at 24 h after thrombectomy, and lower rates of successful revascularization were predictive of 30-day mortality in univariate analysis. Further efforts to identify modifiable risk factors of mortality are warranted.

Ischemic complications after tailored carotid artery stenting in different subpopulations with high-grade stenosis: Feared but rare
Publication date: Available online 28 November 2014 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Author(s): José E. Cohen , J. Moshe Gomori , Eyal Itshayek , Stylianos Pikis , Galina Keigler , Roni Eichel , Ronen R. Leker Although the procedural and postoperative safety profile of carotid artery stenting (CAS) has been steadily improving, many centers still recommend carotid endarectomy (CEA) over CAS. We assessed outcomes (procedural and postoperative stroke) following tailored CAS in a cohort of patients managed at a single academic medical center. Outcomes for patients with carotid artery stenosis treated from 2005–2013...
