The p48 MW HPC is a novel low-profile flow diverter covered by a hydrophilic polymer coating with antithrombogenic properties, which may reduce ischemic complications and enable a single antiplatelet therapy after insertion of the stent. In this single-center experience, we describe the efficacy of this device, focusing on the illustration of different therapeutic indications and the outcome in various clinical settings with regard to vessel anatomy, bleeding state, and aneurysm configuration. We retrospectively reviewed our database for all patients being treated with a p48 MW HPC flow diverter between February 2019 and July 2021.

: Decompressive surgery is a potentially life-saving treatment in patients with malignant space-occupying cerebellar infarction. However, there is only limited literature on functional outcomes and complications after surgery. Our aim was to establish markers which predict poor outcome.

Introduction: Despite targeted standard therapy, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) frequently leads to cerebral vasospasms (CVS) of large cerebral arteries, reduced oxygen supply of brain tissue, known as delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), subsequent development of manifest cerebral infarction and poor neurological outcome.

Research Question: The primary aim was to evaluate the efficacy of endovascular spasmolysis (eSL) as a rescue therapy for delayed ischemic neurological deficits (DIND) occurring despite maximum conservative treatment, with the potential benefit of preventing permanent ischemic deficits, and thus, improving overall neurological outcomes.

Material And Methods: In our retrospective, monocentric study, we included 310 patients developing CVS during hospitalization and evaluated their clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Background: Evidence from randomized controlled trials has shown a benefit for endovascular treatment in basilar artery occlusion. We aimed to show the effect of the recanalization result on outcome and determine the role of underlying basilar stenosis in a real-world setting.

Methods: A retrospective, single-center study of patients who received endovascular treatment for basilar artery occlusion from March 2008 to June 2022 was conducted.

Study Objective: Blood pressure drops during endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke have been associated with worse outcomes for stroke patients. We aimed to evaluate this observation in our patient population.

Design: Retrospective study.
