Functional outcome in low-ASPECTS (0-5) acute ischemic stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy: impact of laterality explored in a single-center study.

Background: There is no consensus regarding the influence of infarct laterality in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to anterior large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT), particularly in low-ASPECT (0-5) patients who were excluded from the initial MT studies and that participated in dedicated randomized-controlled trials that do not consider the side of the occlusion. We aimed to evaluate the role of infarct laterality on the clinical outcome in low-ASPECT AIS patients treated with MT.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed our institutional stroke database in our Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center (TCSC), including patient characteristics, procedural variables, and outcomes, between January 2015 and January 2022.

"National survey for preliminary evaluation of neuroradiological protocols in patients with infective endocarditis".

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify imaging protocols in patients with infective endocarditis through a nationwide survey.

Methods: An electronic evolutionary survey was sent to interventional Neuroradiologists among neuroradiological centers, under the aegis of the Société Française de Neuroradiologie. Among 33 contacted centers, 25 completed the survey (21 universitary hospitals and 4 peripheric hospitals).

Glioma-grade diagnosis using in-phase and out-of-phase T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging: A prospective study.

Purpose: The purpose of this prospective study was to determine whether chemical shift gradient-echo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could predict glioma grade.

Materials And Methods: A total of 69 patients with 69 gliomas were prospectively included. There were 41 men and 28 women with a mean age of 50±(SD) years (range: 16-82years).
