Article Synopsis
  • The ACET study investigates the occurrence of thromboembolic events (TEEs) after endovascular treatment (EVT) for unruptured intracranial aneurysms using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) MRI, aiming to standardize the evaluation of these complications.
  • Out of 233 patients treated across six centers, 58.8% exhibited DWI lesions post-procedure, with significantly higher rates in those undergoing techniques involving device placement like balloon-assisted coiling and stent-assisted coiling.
  • The findings suggest that the EVT techniques themselves notably influence the likelihood of DWI lesions, highlighting the need for careful consideration of the methods adopted in EVT procedures.*

Background: Positive susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) in patients with acute ischaemic stroke has been associated with friable red blood cell-rich clots and more effective recanalisation using stent retrievers versus contact aspiration. We compared the safety and efficacy of stent retrievers plus contact aspiration (combined technique) versus contact aspiration alone as the first-line thrombectomy technique in patients with acute ischaemic anterior circulation stroke and SVS-positive occlusions.

Methods: Adaptive Endovascular Strategy to the Clot MRI in Large Intracranial Vessel Occlusion (VECTOR) was a prospective, randomised, open-label study with blinded evaluation.

Background: We evaluated the clinical and safety outcomes of emergent carotid artery stenting (eCAS) plus endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) among patients with anterior tandem lesion (TL) and large ischemic core (LIC).

Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive stroke patients enrolled in the Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke Registry in France between January 2015 and June 2023. We compared the outcomes of carotid stenting vs no stenting in tandem lesion with pre-treatment LIC (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) 3-5) and stenting in tandem lesion vs thrombectomy alone for isolated intracranial occlusions with pre-treatment LIC.

Background: Retrospective studies suggest the superiority of first-line contact aspiration (CA) thrombectomy over stent-retriever (SR) in basilar artery occlusions (BAO). We aimed to investigate the impact of first-line mechanical thrombectomy per the occlusion level, considering differences in stroke etiology prevalence between proximal and distal BAO.

Methods: A retrospective, multicentric analysis of the Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke Registry (ETIS) included consecutive BAO patients treated from January 2016 to May 2022.

Background: The Brush Sign (BrS) is a radiological biomarker (MRI) showing signal decrease of subependymal and deep medullary veins on paramagnetic-sensitive magnetic resonance sequences. Previous studies have shown controversial results regarding the prognostic value of BrS. We aimed to assess whether BrS on T2*-weighted sequences could predict functional prognosis in patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT).
