Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed 810 patients who underwent treatment for aSAH, finding that meningitis significantly increases the risk of DCI, potentially due to the inflammatory response causing cerebral vasospasm.
- * Key findings included that female patients and those who had surgical clipping were also at higher risk for DCI, emphasizing the importance of early detection and treatment of meningitis to improve patient outcomes.
Background: In mechanical thrombectomy for tandem occlusions in vertebrobasilar stroke, distal emboli from the vertebral artery lesion should be prevented. However, no suitable embolic protection devices are currently available in the posterior circulation. Here, the authors describe the case of a vertebral artery lesion effectively treated with a closed-tip stent retriever as an embolic protection device in the posterior circulation.

This study aimed to establish the determining factors for good clinical outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy for posterior circulation occlusion.
Methods: We extracted cases of acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the posterior circulation from a database comprising 536 patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy at our hospital between April 2015 and March 2021.
