O-013 Impact of stent-retriever tip design on distal embolization during mechanical thrombectomy - a randomized in vitro evaluation
ConclusionsWhen facing fragment-prone clots, the filter-tip SR significantly reduces the number of large clots (>1mm) that embolize distally during an MT procedure, which in turn may increase the chances of first-pass complete recanalization.Abstract O-013 Figure 1Disclosures J.

E-223 Improved time to diagnosis with portable MR imaging
ConclusionPortable MRI is a promising innovation with the aim to expand patient access and improve diagnostic times so that critical and potential lifesaving imaging diagnoses can be promptly treated with the urgency that is required. While initial analysis provides evidence that portable MRI has advantages over conventional MRI systems including workflow efficiency and improved patient imaging times, this will need to be compared to the unfortunate negative drawbacks of lessened image resolution and limited imaging sequences that come with the convenience of portable MRI systems. If the hypothesis is further corroborated,...

P64 NIMBUS geometric clot extractor for tough clots: SPERO study results and clot composition
ConclusionsIn challenging cases with tough clot, first pass of NIMBUS retrieved clot richer in fibrin and lower in RBC content than clot retrieved with the first pass of standard MT devices.ReferencesFennell VS, Setlur Nagesh SV, Meess KM, Gutierrez L, James RH, Springer ME, Siddiqui AH.

P81 Novel synthetic clot analogs for in-vitro stroke modelling
ConclusionSelected synthetic clots can successfully be implemented in an in-vitro training environment of mechanical thrombectomy. The clots’ different properties might serve to mimic fibrin-rich and red blood cell human thrombi.ReferencesNadine Wortmann, Thomas Andersek, Helena Guerreiro, et al.

Endovascular thrombectomy without versus with intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke: a non-inferiority meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Conclusions This meta-analysis suggests that EVT alone is non-inferior to IVT plus EVT for several, but not the most stringent, non-inferiority margins.

E-085 Interventional and diagnostic neuroradiology fellowship education in the COVID-19 era
ConclusionElective neurointerventional case numbers decreased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly impacting the fourth quarter of the 2019-2020 academic year (April - June). Similarly, there was a sizable decrease in diagnostic neuroradiology case volume during this same time period. The decrease in procedural and diagnostic neuroradiology cases raised concerns regarding the educational experience for both diagnostic and neurointerventional radiology fellows. However, as a result of decreased case volume, fellowship education was rapidly augmented with a wide variety of online webinars, lectures, case confer...

Bioactive versus bare platinum coils for the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Conclusions Bioactive coils ensure a higher rate of medium-term complete aneurysm occlusion while reducing the rate of residual neck aneurysms compared with bare coiling in the mid-term. Hydrogel coils reduce residual aneurysms compared with bare coils. While there is level 1a evidence to show more complete aneurysm occlusion, longer term follow-up is needed to determine if this translates into clinical significance.

Reflections on the lessons of the recent endovascular stroke trials
Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic. Thomas Henry Huxley As the stroke community is invigorated by the recent results of the four trials showing the overwhelming efficacy of endovascular therapy for large vessel occlusion,1–4 we should reflect upon lessons that were learned that may help future clinical initiatives. It has been almost 16 years since the PROACT-II trial showed a 15% absolute difference in outcomes in patients treated with intra-arterial pro-urokinase for a middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion compared with medic...

Thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke: an evidence-based treatment
Just 2 years ago, at the International Stroke Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, the Interventional Management of Stroke (IMS III),1 Mechanical Retrieval and Recanalization of Stroke Clots Using Embolectomy (MR RESCUE),2 and SYNTHESIS-Expansion3 trials were presented and concurrently published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The overarching message to the medical community and lay press was that these studies provided unambiguous evidence that mechanical thrombectomy was ineffective in treating acute stroke secondary to emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO). The investigators were careful to emphasize the a...
