E-241 Clinicopathologic analysis of COVID-19 associated thrombi in the setting of large vessel occlusion: a prospective case control study
ConclusionThrombi retrieved from COVID-19 positive stroke patients demonstrated RBC predominance. This finding requires further investigation using appropriate immunohistochemical techniques in a larger cohort of patients.Abstract E-241 Figure 1Abstract E-241 Figure 2COVID-19 positive patient thrombus; stained with H&E demonstrating predominantly RBCs (solid yellow arrow) with interspersed fibrin (solid black arrow) and platelets.

P-028 Impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the intracranial aneurysm treatment and associated outcomes: a propensity score matching study
Conclusions and RelevanceThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the healthcare system and has led to changes in the treatment of various neurological conditions, including ICAs. The pandemic resulted in a shift in the treatment of SAH and an increase in endovascular procedures over open surgical clipping. COVID-19 infection has been associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke and worsened outcomes for stroke patients. Further research is necessary to understand the long-term effects of the pandemic on the healthcare system and patient outcomes.Disclosures A. Ghaith: None. M. Ghanem: None. E. Greco: None....

Acute ischaemic stroke associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in North America
Conclusion There is relationship between COVID-19-associated AIS and severe disability or death. We identified several factors which predict worse outcomes, and these outcomes were more frequent compared to global averages. We found that elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, rather than D-Dimer, predicted both morbidity and mortality.

What should we do about vaccination of patients on anti-CD20 antibody therapy?
The SARS-CoV-2 antibody response was decreased in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) who were infected with COVID-19 and received anti-CD20 therapy Vaccination efforts for COVID-19 are currently underway worldwide. At present, there is insufficient evidence of the vaccine’s efficacy and safety in patients with neurological diseases, such as stroke, dementia and intractable neurological diseases. Despite the fact that many patients with neurological diseases are elderly and often have systemic complications, I believe that neurologists should nonetheless actively recommend vaccination to their patients. However, th...

Letter regarding 'Neurointervention for emergent large vessel occlusion strokes during the COVID-19 pandemic
We read with great interest the recent article by Fiorella et al1 in which the authors discussed several practical points on neurointerventional management of large vessel occlusion (LVO) acute ischemic stroke (AIS) during the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Although we fully agree with Fiorella et al about considering aggressive measures in triaging during the endovascular treatment (EVT) of AIS patients in order to minimize severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection exposure and transmission to healthcare personnel (HCP), we are urging a more cautious and balanced approach. While EVT is ...

Neurosurgery in times of a pandemic: a survey of neurosurgical services during the COVID-19 outbreak in the Veneto region in Italy.
CONCLUSIONS: This multicenter study describes the effects of a COVID-19 outbreak on neurosurgical activities in a vast region in Italy. Remodulation of neurosurgical activities has resulted in a significant reduction of elective and emergency surgeries compared to previous years. Most likely this is a combined result of cancellation of elective and postponable surgeries, increase of conservative management, increase in social restrictions, and in patients' fear of accessing hospitals. Curiously, only endovascular procedures for AIS have increased, possibly due to reduced physical activity or increased thrombosis in SARS-Co...
