"Missing clot" during mechanical thrombectomy in acute stroke using Solitaire stent retrieval system.

Stent retrieval system is an established treatment modality in acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion. Here, we describe a complication which occurred during mechanical thrombectomy in three cases where the clot dislodged during retrieval. There was a possibility of the clot getting reinjected into the artery with possible dire consequences.

Stroke in Young-Dilative Arteriopathy: A Clue to Late-Onset Pompe's Disease?

Importance: In almost a third of stroke in young cases, etiology remains unclear. We report a radiological entity which might give a clue toward detection of late onset Pompe's disease in some cases.

Observation: Here we report two cases of stroke in young in which evaluation led to diagnosis of late onset Pompe's disease.

Mechanical Thrombectomy Using Solitaire in a 6-Year-Old Child.

A six-year-old boy was diagnosed as recurrent posterior circulation stroke secondary to basilar artery occlusion with rapid progression of symptoms. Etiology of stroke was a dissection of V3 segment of left vertebral artery, which was treated using endovascular technique 26 hours after worsening of symptoms. Since the guidelines for acute revascularization in pediatric stroke are not well established, there is limited experience in the use of mechanical devices for acute ischemic stroke revascularization in children.

Endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke: an Indian experience from a tertiary care center.

Background: In India, late presentation due to poor awareness about stroke precludes intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Endovascular therapy can be used in these circumstances. We present our experience of endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke in a tertiary care center.

Thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke: Experience from a tertiary care centre in India.

Unlabelled: The management of acute ischemic stroke has undergone a sea of change with the introduction of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Current guidelines state that the window period for IVT using rTPA is 4.5 hours.

Crossover balloon technique for vertebral artery thrombus: a novel method.

A 54-year-old man presented with recurrent episodes of transient ischemic attacks and acute stroke secondary to a floating thrombus in the right vertebral artery (VA) with narrowing of the right VA. He was initially treated medically with anticoagulation, antiplatelets and statins but developed multiple fresh infarcts. He was then referred for endovascular treatment, which was performed in a novel way.
