Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore how acute kidney injury (AKI) affects 3-month mortality rates in patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT).
- - After reviewing 3,314 studies, only 18 met the criteria for analysis, ultimately focusing on 3,229 patients, finding a pooled odds ratio for mortality at 3 months in AKI patients to be 5.8.
- - Results indicated that AKI significantly increased mortality risk, with diabetes as a contributing factor, whereas younger age and less contrast media appeared to be protective factors.
Aim: To investigate the optimum antiplatelet therapy regimen (APTR) for emergent carotid artery stenting following mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in stroke patients with tandem occlusion.
Methods: A literature search was performed on Pubmed/OVID/Cochran's CENTRAL database for studies from 2015 to 2022. Patient characteristics, antiplatelet regimen type, mTICI, 90 days-mRS, acute in-stent thrombosis (AIST), mortality, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and sample size were recorded.
Background: The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a pivotal clinical tool used to assess patients with acute stroke. However, substantial heterogeneity in the application and interpretation of stroke scale items can occur. This systematic review aimed to elucidate heterogeneity in measuring the NIHSS.

Background: Contrast media used in mechanical therapies for stroke and myocardial infarction represent a significant cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute medical scenarios. Although the continuous saline infusion line (CSIL) is a standard procedure to prevent thrombus formation within the catheter during neurovascular interventions of mechanical thrombectomy (MT), it is not utilized in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
Methods: A systematic review of the incidence of AKI after MT for stroke treatment was performed.
Cerebral collateral circulation is a network of blood vessels which stabilizes blood flow and maintains cerebral perfusion whenever the main arteries fail to provide an adequate blood supply, as happens in ischemic stroke. These arterial networks are able to divert blood flow to hypoperfused cerebral areas. The extent of the collateral circulation determines the volume of the salvageable tissue, the so-called "".
