Endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (endovascular aneurysm repair [EVAR]) has been shown to be effective, with lower perioperative mortality and morbidity than open surgical treatment in patients with compatible anatomy. This benefit is lost after 3 years of follow-up. This could be explained by the higher rate of reintervention in EVAR patients due to endoleaks.

Methods: We assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, patients with proximal cerebral vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation and a large infarct (as defined by an Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomographic Score of ≤5; values range from 0 to 10) detected on magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography within 6.5 hours after symptom onset to undergo endovascular thrombectomy and receive medical care (thrombectomy group) or to receive medical care alone (control group).
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the use of rescue intracranial stenting (RIS) combined with best medical treatment (BMT) versus BMT alone for patients experiencing acute ischemic strokes (AIS) due to large vessel occlusions that do not respond to mechanical thrombectomy (MT).
- - Conducted across 11 French University hospitals, the PISTAR trial involves randomizing 346 adult patients to evaluate the effectiveness of RIS in improving functional outcomes at 3 months and monitoring for complications and adverse events.
- - The primary outcome is measured by the modified Rankin Scale, aiming to determine if RIS improves patient outcomes compared to BMT alone; this is the first randomized trial specifically targeting this issue in acute stroke management.
Background: Despite the growing sophistication of robot-assisted surgery, it is necessary to demonstrate that robots can reliably perform complex procedures on site and then remotely. Although a flow diverter stent is one of the most effective and widely used devices, its placement is sometimes challenging.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the CorPath GRX robotic platform for the embolization of cerebral and cervical aneurysms using flow diverter stents.
Background: Neurointerventionists lack guidelines for the use of antithrombotic therapies in their clinical practice; consequently, there is likely to be significant heterogeneity in antithrombotic use between centers. Through a nationwide survey, we aimed to obtain an exhaustive cross-sectional overview of antithrombotic use in neurointerventional procedures in France.
Methods: In April 2021, French neurointerventional surgery centers were invited to participate in a nationwide 51-question survey disseminated through an active trainee-led research collaborative network (the JENI-RC).
