E-025 Aspiration thrombectomy of acute ischemic stroke patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease or tandem lesion
ConclusionAspiration thrombectomy was effective in restoring blood flow and resulting in good 90-day functional outcome in AIS patients with anterior circulation tandem lesion, and the 90-day mortality rate in these patients was low. No significant difference in outcomes was detected between patients with a stent and patients without a stent.Disclosures O.

Clinical and Angiographic Outcomes with the Combined Local Aspiration and Retriever in the North American Solitaire Stent-Retriever Acute Stroke (NASA) Registry
Background: Various techniques are used to enhance the results of mechanical thrombectomy with stent-retrievers, including proximal arrest with balloon guide catheter (BGC), conventional large bore proximal catheter (CGC), or in combination with local aspiration through a large-bore catheter positioned at the clot interface (Aspiration-Retriever Technique for Stroke [ARTS]). We evaluated the impact of ARTS in the North American Solitaire Acute Stroke (NASA) registry.Summary: Data on the use of the aspiration technique were available for 285 anterior circulation patients, of which 29 underwent ARTS technique, 131 CGC, and 1...

Inhospital Complications Associated with Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in the United States between 2000-2010: Analysis of 93,801 Procedures.
CONCLUSIONS: The overall complication rate was 6.29% in patients undergoing AF ablation. There was a significant association between operator and hospital volume on adverse outcomes. This suggests a need for future research into identifying the safety measures in AF ablations and instituting appropriate interventions to improve overall AF ablation outcomes.
