Three years' interventional neurology experience in Turkey with the Thrombite thrombectomy device in large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation: safety, efficacy, and clinical outcome.

Introduction: While the Thrombite device differs from the Solitare stent with its Helical open-side structure feature, it shows great similarity with its other features. We assessed the Thrombite device's effectiveness and safety in this study.

Materials And Methods: The study was a retrospective analysis of patients who were included in the Turkish Interventional Neurology database and who had mechanical thrombectomy with the Thrombite device as the first choice between January 2020 and January 2023.

Predictors of Symptomatic Hemorrhage After Endovascular Treatment for Anterior Circulation Occlusions: Turkish Endovascular Stroke Registry.

We evaluated the predictive factors of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) in endovascular treatment of stroke. We included 975 ischemic stroke patients with anterior circulation occlusion. Patients that had hemorrhage and an increase of ≥4 points in their National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) after the treatment were considered as SICH.

The role of inflammatory parameters in the prediction of postoperative delirium in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association of pre-operative and early postoperative inflammatory parameters with postoperative delirium in patients operated on for coronary artery bypass grafting.

Methods: The data of 1 279 cardiac surgery patients operated on between June 2014 and March 2020 were analysed retrospectively. Among these, 777 (61.

Incidence and predictors of prolonged hemodynamic depression after carotid artery stenting: Yet another benefit of statins?

Objectives: We aimed to assess the incidence and predictors of prolonged hemodynamic depression (PHD) after carotid artery stenting (CAS).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 216 CAS procedures performed in 207 patients (156 male; median and interquartile range (IQR) of age 68 (62-73) yr) between July 2012 and October 2020. PHD was defined as hypotension (systolic blood pressure ≤ 90 mmHg) and/or bradycardia (heart rate < 60 bpm) lasting >1 h.

Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy (Aman) With Motor Conduction Blocks In Childhood; Case Report.

Objective Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), characterized with decreased compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) and absence of demyelinating findings in electrophysiological studies, is a subtype of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). A 4 yr-old male patient presented with ascending weakness, dysarthria and dysphagia to İstanbul Dr. Lütfi Kırdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital Neurology outpatient for three days to in 2012.

Treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy with high dose intravenous methylprednisolone monthly for five years: 10-Year follow up.

Objective: Although various modalities of treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy (CIDP) there are not any treatment protocol agreed.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the 20 CIDP patients (14 male, 6 female). Five patients were excluded from the study because they could not continue their treatments due to various problems during the treatment.

Prevalence of multiple sclerosis: door-to-door survey in three rural areas of coastal Black Sea regions of Turkey.

Background: Little information exists on multiple sclerosis (MS) in Turkey. With a door-to-door survey in an urban part of Istanbul, we recently reported a prevalence rate of 101/100,000 population. We therefore investigated three rural areas of Turkey at the same latitude.
