Introduction: Rescue intracranial stenting is necessary to provide sufficient recanalization after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with acute large vessel occlusions (LVO) due to an underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD). The CREDO heal is a novel stent that provides a potentially lower thrombogenicity due to surface modification. We present the first multicentric experience with the CREDO heal for acute rescue stenting.

The NIMBUS Geometric Clot Extractor has demonstrated promising revascularization rates using fibrin-rich clot analogs. This study assessed the retrieval rate and composition of clot using NIMBUS in a clinical setting.

The possibility of measuring the exhaled breath of mice was evaluated previously. The aim of the present study was to reveal whether mice affected by airway inflammation can be identified via MCC/IMS.
