Higher serum albumin-corrected calcium levels are associated with revascularization and poor outcome after mechanical thrombectomy.

Background: Serum calcium abnormalities have been determined to be associated with the risk and outcome of stroke. The aim of the present study was to examine the associations of serum calcium with vascular recanalization, symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage and functional outcome in stroke patients after mechanical thrombectomy.

Methods: A total of 192 patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion were consecutively included from August 2017 to June 2021.

Carotid Artery Perivascular Adipose Tissue Density Relates to Recanalization and Clinical Outcome After Mechanical Thrombectomy.

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) imaging can be used in clinical practice as a surrogate marker of vascular disease. We aimed to analyze the association between the density of carotid artery PVAT and clinical features and outcomes in stroke patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy. A total of 183 consecutive patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion were retrospectively included from January 2016 to May 2021.

Association between carotid artery perivascular fat density and cerebral small vessel disease.

Studies aiming to identify the significance of the carotid artery perivascular fat density are limited. The present study investigated the distribution pattern of pericarotid fat and its association with imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). In total, 572 subjects who underwent both neck computed tomography angiography and cranial magnetic resonance imaging were analyzed.

[Application of transcranial Doppler in prognosis assessment of nerve function in patients with acute cerebral infarction after intracranial mechanical thrombectomy].

Objective: To investigate the application value of transcranial Doppler (TCD) in the prognosis assessment of nerve function in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) after intracranial mechanical thrombectomy.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted. The clinical data of 43 patients with acute anterior circulation cerebral infarction who received intra-arterial mechanical thrombotomy for recanalization admitted to Taizhou Central Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were analyzed.

[The role of thromboxane A2 receptor gene promoter polymorphism in acute cerebral infarction].

Objective: To investigate the association between thromboxane A2 receptor (TXA2R) gene promoter rs2271875, rs768963 polymorphism and acute cerebral infarction in Chinese Han population.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted. From October 2009 to May 2013, 223 patients with cerebral infarction (cerebral infarction group) and 142 cohorts with normal physical examination results (control group) from Taizhou City Central Hospital in Zhejiang Province were enrolled.
