Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute stroke treatments, specifically focusing on patients with pre-existing disabilities compared to those without.
- Utilizing national registry data from the Czech Republic, researchers analyzed the rates of EVT, workflow efficiencies, and post-stroke outcomes, defining premorbid disability using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
- Findings revealed that patients with premorbid disability were significantly less likely to receive EVT, experienced longer treatment times, and had poorer outcomes, including higher mortality rates and worse functional recovery at three months post-stroke.
Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to anterior circulation tandem lesion (TL) remains a technical and clinical challenge for endovascular treatment (EVT). Conflicting results from observational studies and missing evidence from the randomized trials led us to report a recent real-world multicenter clinical experience and evaluate possible predictors of good outcome after EVT.
Methods: We analyzed all AIS patients with TL enrolled in the prospective national study METRICS (Mechanical Thrombectomy Quality Indicators Study in Czech Stroke Centers).
Background: Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is considered the most severe pattern of peripheral artery disease. CLI is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality with high risk of limb amputation. In the absence of appropriate autologous grafts, unsuitability of prosthetic bypasses, and endovascular methods, fresh cold-stored venous allografts is an option.

Following the recent international multi-society consensus quality indicators, we aimed to assess trend in these indicators on national level.
Material And Methods: The prospective multicenter study (METRICS) was conducted in Czech Republic (CR) in year 2019.
