Background: Periprocedural antiplatelet treatment is a key determinant for the risk-benefit balance of emergent carotid artery stenting (eCAS) during stroke endovascular treatment (EVT). We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy profile of cangrelor compared with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) inhibitors or aspirin monotherapy.
Methods: Data were extracted from the Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke (ETIS) registry, a prospective nationwide observational registry of stroke EVT in France.
Background: We evaluated the clinical and safety outcomes of emergent carotid artery stenting (eCAS) plus endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) among patients with anterior tandem lesion (TL) and large ischemic core (LIC).
Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive stroke patients enrolled in the Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke Registry in France between January 2015 and June 2023. We compared the outcomes of carotid stenting vs no stenting in tandem lesion with pre-treatment LIC (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) 3-5) and stenting in tandem lesion vs thrombectomy alone for isolated intracranial occlusions with pre-treatment LIC.
Background: Performing endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) allows a port of entry for intracranial biological sampling.
Objective: To test the hypothesis that specific immune players are molecular contributors to disease, outcome biomarkers, and potential targets for modifying AIS.
Methods: We examined 75 subjects presenting with large vessel occlusion of the anterior circulation and undergoing EVT.
Background Whether intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) prior to endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) provides additional benefits in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and a large infarct core (LIC) remains unclear. Purpose To examine whether treatment with IVT before EVT is beneficial in patients with LIC identified with CT or MRI (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score 0-5). Materials and Methods This retrospective study included consecutive adult patients diagnosed with AIS due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) and LIC treated with EVT who were enrolled in the ETIS (Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke) Registry in France between January 2015 and January 2022.
