Eosinophil: A New Circulating Biomarker for Risk of Poor Outcome in Stroke Patients Undergoing Mechanical Thrombectomy.

Objective: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS), caused by occlusion of large vessel, is a serious life-threatening disease. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the association of 14 common and readily available circulating biomarkers with the 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT).

Methods: This study included patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke treated with MT from 05/2017 to 12/2021.

Influences of different referral modes on clinical outcomes after endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke.

Background And Purpose: As endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is time-dependent, it is crucial to refer patients promptly. Current referral modes include Mothership (MS), Drip and Ship (DS) and Drive the Doctor (DD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of different referral modes on the clinical outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke after EVT.

Predictors and Dynamic Nomogram to Determine the Individual Risk of Malignant Brain Edema After Endovascular Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Background And Purpose: This study aimed to construct an optimal dynamic nomogram for predicting malignant brain edema (MBE) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients after endovascular thrombectomy (ET).

Methods: We enrolled AIS patients after ET from May 2017 to April 2021. MBE was defined as a midline shift of >5 mm at the septum pellucidum or pineal gland based on follow-up computed tomography within 5 days after ET.
