Acute Glaucoma Following Internal Carotid Artery Stenting: A Rare But Serious Complication of Ocular Ischemic Syndrome.

Acute glaucoma following carotid artery recanalization is a rare but severe complication of underlying ocular ischemic syndrome. We present a case of a 71-year-old woman with ocular ischemic syndrome and severe stenosis of the right internal and external carotid artery undergoing carotid artery stenting. Immediate postprocedural angiography showed pronounced reperfusion of the ophthalmic artery.

Association Between Use of a Flying Intervention Team vs Patient Interhospital Transfer and Time to Endovascular Thrombectomy Among Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke in Nonurban Germany.

Importance: The benefit of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke is highly time-dependent, and it is challenging to expedite treatment for patients in remote areas.

Objective: To determine whether deployment of a flying intervention team, compared with patient interhospital transfer, is associated with a shorter time to endovascular thrombectomy and improved clinical outcomes for patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a nonrandomized controlled intervention study comparing 2 systems of care in alternating weeks.

Dual-energy CT immediately after endovascular stroke intervention: prognostic implications.

Purpose: Posttreatment intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after recanalization therapy of acute ischemic stroke increases morbidity and mortality. Dual-energy (DE) computed tomography (CT) allows differentiation of blood-brain barrier disruption (BBBD) and ICH. We evaluated the incidence of ICH and BBBD immediately after endovascular recanalization therapy, the correlation between BBBD and final infarction or ICH size, and the prognostic value of postinterventional BBBD.
