Trends in utilization and outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy for cerebral venous thrombosis: A National Inpatient Sample study.

Background And Purpose: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is usually treated with systemic anticoagulation, but mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and local infusion of a thrombolytic agent have been proposed as an alternative therapy. In this study, we analyze National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to determine the trends of MT including discharge other than home (DOTH) and mortality.

Material And Methods: Healthcare Utilization Program-NIS (HCUP-NIS) was queried between 2005 and 2018 for CVT and MT.

Trends in Admissions and Outcomes for Treatment of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in the United States.

Background: Lifestyle modifications and advances in surgical and endovascular techniques for treating unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA) have vastly evolved over the last few decades and may have reduced the incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). However, the actual impact of these changes on the rates and outcomes of aSAH remain unexplored. Thus, we studied national aSAH admissions and outcome trends and changes of major risk factors over time.
