Introduction: The efficacy of intracranial rescue stenting (RS) following failed mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in large-vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke remains uncertain. We aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes of RS in patients with anterior circulation LVO stroke following unsuccessful MT.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis using the Stroke Code Registry of Catalonia (January 2016-March 2022), a prospective, population-based registry including patients treated at 10 comprehensive stroke centers.

Background: The double-stent retriever (SR) technique has been described as an effective rescue technique when single-SR fails to induce recanalization. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of first-line double-SR in patients with stroke undergoing thrombectomy.

Methods: This was a multicenter, randomized, controlled, blinded adjudicated primary outcome study.

Background: Cognitive improvement after endovascular embolization of an intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) remains unexplored. We aim to investigate cognitive changes following endovascular embolization of dAVFs.

Methods: Neuropsychology in dural ArterIal Fistula (NAIF) was a prospective multicentric study including patients with an angiographic diagnosis of dAVF who underwent endovascular embolization over the course of 4 years.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the histological reasons behind vessel wall enhancement (WE) observed in MRI scans, finding it to be a significant indicator of aneurysms likely to rupture, surpassing traditional risk assessments.
  • - Conducted at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, the research included 132 patients with saccular intracranial aneurysms, examining their MRI results and classifying them based on symptoms and rupture status.
  • - Results indicated that WE occurred in 36.5% of aneurysms, with it being a strong predictor for symptomatic and ruptured aneurysms, linked to specific immune cell markers related to inflammation.

Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a new noncompletely occlusive net-assisted remodeling technique in which the Cascade net device is used for temporary bridging of intracranial aneurysms.

Methods: Between July 2018 and May 2019, patients underwent coil embolization with the Cascade net device within 4 centers in Europe. Analysis of angiographic (modified Raymond-Roy classification [MRRC]) and clinical outcomes data was conducted immediately following treatment and at the 6-month follow-up.
