Use of Cardiac Stents to Reperfuse the Brain (P2.280)
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac stents are easily deployed and associated with few complications. Outcomes were favorable. A larger, prospective trial is needed to evaluate and compare cardiac stents with the currently used stents used for cerebrovascular ischemic disease.Disclosure: Dr. Moussavi has nothing to disclose.

Single Centre Experience of Endovascular Intervention in Extra and Intracranial Vertebro-Basilar Stenosis at a Tertiary Care Centre (P1.197)
CONCLUSIONS Vertebro-basilar interventions have high peri-procedural complications, jeopardizing their benefit. For similar patient profiles, we had higher deaths, strokes, cardiac complications compared to VAST trial. Results may be biased by inclusion of basilar interventions, selection bias of high risk patients in a referral center and other factors that confound a retrospective study.Disclosure: Dr. Kaur has nothing to disclose.

Rates of In-Hospital Procedures and Outcomes among Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Patients Admitted to Joint Commission Primary Stroke Centers in United States (P1.253)
Conclusions: Compared with non PSCs admissions, patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage admitted to PSCs are more likely to receive endovascular treatment and had higher odds of being discharged to home. Such observations support the notion that PSC certification may favorably impact outcomes in all stroke subtypes.Disclosure: Dr. Saeed has nothing to disclose. Dr. Chaudhry has nothing to disclose.

Novel Application of Reversible Parental Anti-platelets in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (P1.257)
CONCLUSION: Our results highlight safety of administering IV Eptifibatide to prevent thrombotic complications after endovascular coil embolization in select patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Embolic Stroke in Relation to Dynamic Vertebral Artery Stenosis: A Case Report (P4.339)
Conclusion: Non-traumatic dynamic vertebral artery occlusion on head turning is a rare stroke mechanism that can be easily overlooked if the history of the initial event with its precipitating factors is not identified. Four Figures of neuroimaging will be included in the submission.Disclosure: Dr. Alghamdi has nothing to disclose.

An Unusual Case of Acquired Alexia without Agraphia Caused by Perioperative Stroke (P4.368)
Conclusions: Though rare, perioperative strokes occur and are often unidentified. Proceduralists and anesthesiologists should not delay emergent neurological assessment for fear of treatment futility. Though many postoperative patients are not candidates for intravenous thrombolysis, endovascular catheter-based interventions can be considered.Disclosure: Dr. Sener has nothing to disclose.

Recurrent Spells of Unresponsiveness Secondary to Bilateral Carotid Stenosis Caused by Giant Cell Arteritis (P4.373)
Conclusions: The presence of bilateral carotid stenosis in patients with GCA is strongly associated with future risk of neurologic deficits. A vertebrobasilar steal syndrome may be a manifestation of bilateral, severe carotid stenosis. It may be difficult to separate atherosclerotic lesions from vasculitic lesions related to GCA, however, the presence of localized focal stenosis with relatively healthy arteries above and below the lesions may point to a vasculitic process. Rigorous attention should be given to modification of atherosclerotic risk factors as well as recognizing and treating the rare manifestation of GCA.Dis...

Carotid artery stenting in the context of endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke
Conclusion Carotid angioplasty stenting and endovascular treatment of AIS due to CTO appears effective with an acceptable rate of sICH.RESUMO Trombectomia mecânica com stentrievers associada a trombólise endovenosa com rTPA é o tratamento padrão-ouro do acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico agudo (AVCi) devido à oclusões de grandes vasos. No entanto, a melhor estratégia terapêutica para oclusões carotídeas combinadas ainda permanece controversa. Método Vinte paciente receberam tratamento endovascular. O desfecho primário foi a taxa de recanalização completa sem sangramento intracraniano sintomático. Os desfe...

Fractional Flow Assessment for the Evaluation of Intracranial Atherosclerosis: A Feasibility Study
Conclusion: Fractional flow measurement by floating a pressure guidewire across the intracranial stenosis was technically feasible and safe in this study. Further studies are needed to validate its use for ischemic stroke risk assessment.Intervent Neurol 2016;5:65-75

The High Risk of Low Distal Flow
Symptomatic atherosclerosis of the vertebral artery remains a challenging condition with no proven interventional therapy. Completed randomized trials of angioplasty with or without stenting involving patients with symptomatic vertebral artery stenosis include Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS), Stenting vs Aggressive Medical Management for Preventing Recurrent Stroke in Intracranial Stenosis (SAMMPRIS), and Vertebral Artery Stenting Trial (VAST). As the largest (N = 115) completed trial, VAST illustrates many of the challenges of developing interventional therapy for this patient pop...
