P-012 Thrombectomy aspiration post-market study in acute stroke: the TAPAS study
ConclusionThe Q Aspiration Catheter is a novel technology that showed comparable deliverability and revascularization rates as other commercially available catheters with no safety concerns. More prospective clinical data is needed to fully assess the Q Aspiration Catheter.AbbreviationsAIS (acute ischemic stroke), MT (mechanical thrombectomy), ASPECTs (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score), mTICI (modified TICI score), NIHSS (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale), mRS (modified Rankin Scale), ENT (embolization to a new territory), sICH (symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage)Disclosures F.

Optimizing endovascular stroke therapy: A primary PCI deja‐vu?
Key Points The optimal revascularization modality (thromboembolectomy, suction thrombectomy, angioplasty with stenting, and stent retriever thrombectomy) for the cerebral circulation remains to be defined Catheter‐based therapy of the acute stroke yields better clinical outcomes in patients <65‐year‐old, with a door‐to‐balloon time <4 hr and successful reperfusion TICI ≥ 2. Considering the significant incidence of acute strokes which are either ineligible for intravenous thrombolytic therapy or present too late, catheter‐based therapies may offer an alternative treatment option. Interventional card...

Rescue thrombolysis in the treatment of cardiac shock and acute stroke
The patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction are primarily managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or thrombolysis. It is well accepted that rescue PCI should be implemented in case of unsuccessful thrombolysis. However, the reverse, rescue thrombolysis, that is, administering of thrombolytic therapy in a patient in whom primary PCI fails, is not well defined. There are no available data about rescue thrombolysis so far. We represent a 43-year-old male patient with Buerger disease (thromboangiitis obliterans) who was admitted to our emergency department for cardiac shock related to inferior and right ...

Emergent Angioplasty and Stent Placement Recanalization Without Thrombolysis in Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusions
This study evaluated the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of intracranial artery recanalization for acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion using emergent angioplasty and stent placement without thrombolysis. All patients from a retrospectively collected database who met the inclusion criteria and were treated with an intracranial stent for acute MCA occlusion were included. Treatment comprised angioplasty and stenting without interventional thrombolytic therapy. Recanalization was assessed by angiography immediately after stent placement based on the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score. Complications ...

Thrombolytic therapy-associated acute myocardial infarction in patients with acute ischemic stroke: A treatment dilemma
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is uncommon in the acute phase of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and occurs in approximately 1% of the population. Here, we report a paradoxical case of AMI during tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) infusion for AIS. We review and analyze the previously reported cases. We found that only patients with AMI which occurred after thrombolytic therapy for AIS who received an adequate combination of anticoagulation plus percutaneous coronary intervention survived their events.

Cervical carotid occlusion in acute ischemic stroke: Should we give tPA?
CONCLUSION: Emergent revascularization with acute cICA stenting carries advantages, but its safety is precluded by tPA administration. We suggest a trial which randomizes patients with cICA occlusions to receiving either tPA or dual antiplatelet therapy before surgical intervention, aiming to ultimately improved outcomes in these patients.PMID:35509556 | PMC:PMC9063023 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_176_2022
