Introduction: Higher blood pressure (BP) is considered to be detrimental in patients who undergo mechanical thrombectomy (MT), however, the impact of BP post-MT based on comorbidities like anemia has not been well studied. We aim to determine the association of 24-h post-MT BP parameters with clinical outcomes depending on their anemia status.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent MT at a comprehensive stroke center from 1/2015 to 12/2020.
Cerebral collateral circulation refers to the anastomoses that reroute the blood flow to the ischemic penumbra in the event of a large vessel occlusion (LVO). We aim to determine the utility of pre-mechanical-thrombectomy (MT) collateral scores in the early (<6 h from onset) versus extended (6-24 h from onset) window for MT with respect to a 3-month functional outcome, 3-month mortality, and early neurological improvement. We performed a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent MT for an anterior circulation LVO at a comprehensive stroke center from 7/2014 to 12/2020.

Article Synopsis
- * The review covers advancements in pharmacologic treatments for dystonia from January 2012 to April 2022, emphasizing the importance of robust clinical trials to explore new therapeutic options.
- * Novel therapies such as daxibotulinumtoxinA, dipraglurant, and sodium oxybate are emerging, highlighting the need for tailored treatments that consider the specific type and causes of dystonia.
Introduction: Elevation of blood pressure (BP) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) can theoretically restore perfusion to the ischemic brain tissue, but it comes at a risk of causing reperfusion injury. We aim to determine the association of 24-h post-MT BP parameters with clinical outcomes depending on the pre-MT collateral status.
Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent MT at a comprehensive stroke center from 7/2014 to 12/2020.
Introduction: Anemia is associated with higher morbidity and mortality, but its association with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is not well established. We aim to determine the association of five-day anemia parameters with clinical outcomes in patients with an AIS, depending on their pre-mechanical thrombectomy (MT) collateral status.
Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent MT at a comprehensive stroke center from 7/2014 to 12/2020.
