Is Histologic Thrombus Composition in Acute Stroke Linked to Stroke Etiology or to Interventional Parameters?

Background And Purpose: Detailed insight into the composition of thrombi retrieved from patients with ischemic stroke by mechanical thrombectomy might improve pathophysiologic understanding and therapy. Thus, this study searched for links between histologic thrombus composition and stroke subtypes and mechanical thrombectomy results.

Materials And Methods: Thrombi from 85 patients who had undergone mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke between December 2016 and March 2018 were studied retrospectively.

Effectiveness of Endovascular Recanalization Treatment for M2 Segment Occlusion: Comparison Between Intracranial ICA, M1, and M2 Segment Thrombectomy.

Rationale And Objectives: Mechanical thrombectomy is common practice in proximal anterior vessel occlusion. However, it remains unclear whether peripheral artery occlusions should be treated as well. This retrospective study aimed to prove the effectiveness of endovascular recanalization treatment for the M2 segment by comparison of intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA), M1 segment, and M2 segment thrombectomy.

Automated ASPECT rating: comparison between the Frontier ASPECT Score software and the Brainomix software.

Purpose: Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) appears promising in early ischemic change detection computed tomography (CT). This study aimed to compare the performance of two new CAD systems (Frontier ASPECTS Prototype and Brainomix) with two experienced readers in selected patients with suspected acute ischemic stroke.

Methods: Retrospectively, non-contrast brain CTs of 150 patients suspected for acute middle cerebral artery ischemia were analyzed with respect to ASPECTS first separately, than in consensus by two senior radiologists, and by use of Frontier and Brainomix.
