Early percutaneous antegrade-retrograde rendezvous repair of a transected ureter-a real therapeutic option.

A 46-year-old female underwent elective laparoscopic hysterectomy. Seven days post-operatively, she presented with urinary leak from the vagina. Computed tomography urogram demonstrated a right complete ureteric transection with leakage of urine into the pelvis and fistulation into the vagina.

Outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy with and without bridging thrombolysis for acute large vessel occlusion ischaemic stroke.

Background: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for management of large vessel occlusion (LVO) acute ischaemic stroke is now current best practice.

Aim: To determine if bridging intravenous (i.v.

Expanding the role of stent-retriever endovascular thrombectomy: a case series of free-floating thrombus.

Carotid artery free-floating thrombus (FFT) is a rare but clinically significant cause of embolic stroke. Treatment has historically been confined to carotid surgery or best medical therapy, with neither option proved to be superior. However, recent advancements in endovascular interventions have heralded a new age of innovative management strategies for vascular disease.

Endovascular thrombectomy beyond 12 hours of stroke onset: a stroke network's experience of late intervention.

Background: Selected patients with proximal anterior circulation ischemic stroke who demonstrate limited infarct and sufficient penumbra may benefit from endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) beyond conventional time limits.

Objective: To perform a retrospective review of all cases of EVT performed at our institution for proximal anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke with onset >12 hours.

Materials And Methods: Patients were assessed with non-contrast CT brain and multiphase CT angiography, with Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) and collateral grade informing patient selection.

Borderline Alberta Stroke Programme Early CT Score Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Due to Large Vessel Occlusion May Find Benefit with Endovascular Thrombectomy.

Objective: Selection of patients with acute ischemic stroke for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is complex and time-critical. Benefits of EVT are well established for patients with small core infarcts. The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of EVT in patients with larger established infarcts (Alberta Stroke Programme Early CT Score [ASPECTS] ≤6) with patients with smaller infarcts (ASPECTS 7-10).
