Introduction: The efficacy of intracranial rescue stenting (RS) following failed mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in large-vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke remains uncertain. We aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes of RS in patients with anterior circulation LVO stroke following unsuccessful MT.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis using the Stroke Code Registry of Catalonia (January 2016-March 2022), a prospective, population-based registry including patients treated at 10 comprehensive stroke centers.
Background: The association between increased cancer risk following a cerebrovascular event (CVE) has been previously reported. We hypothesize that biological age (B-age) acceleration is involved in this association. Our study aims to examine B-age as a novel contributing factor to cancer development post-CVE.

- A significant portion of patients (1 in 10) experience epilepsy after having cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), but it's challenging to predict who will be affected.* -
- Researchers created the DIAS3 prognostic score using clinical data from over 1,100 patients to assess the likelihood of developing post-CVT epilepsy based on six clinical variables.* -
- The study found a range of predicted risks for post-CVT epilepsy within one and three years, with successful validation of the score confirming its effectiveness in estimating individual risk.*
Article Synopsis
- Anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies are effective treatments for preventing migraines, but patients show varied responses, influenced by specific clinical factors.
- A study involving over 5,800 patients identified key predictors of treatment response at 6 months, including older age, unilateral pain, absence of depression, fewer monthly migraine days, and lower disability levels.
- The findings highlight that higher migraine frequency and greater baseline disability negatively impact treatment effectiveness, which can inform future patient management and reimbursement policies.
