Predictive and individualized management of stroke —success story in Czech Republic
AbstractThe model of centralized stroke care in the Czech Republic was created in 2010 –2012 by Ministry of Health (MH) in cooperation with professional organization—Cerebrovascular Section of the Czech Neurological Society (CSCNS). It defines priorities of stroke care, stroke centers, triage of suspected stroke patients, stroke care quality indicators, their monitoring, and repor ting. Thirteen complex cerebrovascular centers (CCC) provide sophisticated stroke care, including intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), mechanical thrombectomy (MTE), as well as other endovascular (stenting, coiling) and neurosurgical procedures.

8-F balloon guide catheter for embolization of anterior circulation aneurysms: an institutional experience in 152 patients.
Authors: Ohshima T, Dash C, Belayev A, Yamamoto T, Goto S, Kato Y Abstract The use of 8-F balloon guide catheter (BGC) for proximal flow control was previously shown to prevent distal embolic complications during mechanical clot retrieval in patients with acute ischemic stroke. In this retrospective study, the utility of 8-F BGCs for proximal flow control during endovascular coiling of anterior circulation aneurysms was investigated. Patients who underwent endovascular coiling for anterior circulation aneurysms between August 2013 and December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Among a total of 152 patients includ...
