Blood pressure variability and short-term outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Objectives: There is limited data evaluating effects of post-mechanical thrombectomy (MT) blood pressure (BP) control on short-term clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO). We aim to investigate the association of BP variations, after MT, with stroke early outcomes.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on AIS patients with LVO undergoing MT at a tertiary center over 3.

Frequency and Stratification of Epileptogenic Lesions in Elderly With New Onset Seizures.

To evaluate prospectively the frequency of epileptogenic lesions in a consecutive cohort of elderly patients presenting with new onset unprovoked seizures, and who underwent a complete evaluation including dedicated epilepsy protocol MRI. We included all consecutive patients 60 years or older who participated in a prospective study on new onset epilepsy. The work-up included the acquisition of a dedicated epilepsy protocol MRI and a 3 h video/EEG recording.
