Objective: Flow diversion is increasingly used as an endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms. FRED-EPI is a prospective, multicenter, French study, conducted to analyze the safety and efficacy of aneurysm treatment with FRED/FRED Jr (Microvention, AlisoViejo, CA, USA) in current clinical practice.
Patients And Methods: Patients with intracranial aneurysms treated with FRED and FRED Jr who agreed to participate were prospectively and consecutively included in all French centers using these devices.
Background: The Low profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS)/LVIS Jr is a self-expanding braiding stent for the treatment of intracranial aneurysm. This study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the LVIS/LVIS Jr for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms in a real-world setting.
Methods: This prospective, observational, multicenter study enrolled patients with unruptured, ruptured and recanalized intracranial aneurysms treated with the LVIS stents, between February 2018 to December 2019.
Introduction: Elderly patients are a growing population in stroke units, characterized by higher frailty, but underrepresented in clinical trials about acute care. We investigated efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in elderlies in current practice.
Methods: We assessed consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) hospitalized in the four stroke units of the French Northern Alps Emergency Network between 2015 and 2020.
Rationale: Oxygen is essential for cellular energy metabolism. Neurons are particularly vulnerable to hypoxia. Increasing oxygen supply shortly after stroke onset could preserve the ischemic penumbra until revascularization occurs.

We examined three research questions: 1.) Are there significant differences in knowledge, attitudes, and practices among teachers with differing years' experience? 2.
