Introduction: Landmark thrombectomy trials demonstrated improved functional outcomes after endovascular therapy (EVT) for large core strokes (LCSs). This study explored the impact of recanalization attempts and procedure time (PT) on outcomes in LCS patients.

Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with LCSs who underwent EVT from a prospective multicentre cohort.

Background: The impact of lowering systolic blood pressure (SBP) following endovascular treatment (EVT) in acute large vessel occlusion stroke (LVOS) patients remains unclear. We aimed to explore the effect of the magnitude of SBP reduction (SBPr) after EVT on outcomes in LVOS patients.

Methods: We consecutively registered patients at three comprehensive stroke centres who had experienced EVT as a result of acute anterior circulation LVOS.

Background: Despite the remarkable effectiveness of endovascular treatment (EVT), recent randomized controlled trials indicate that up to half of patients with large core infarction have a very poor outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 5-6 at 90 days). This study investigates the combined effect of Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) and age on very poor outcome in patients with large core infarction treated with EVT.

Methods: This subanalysis of the MAGIC registry, which is a prospective, multicenter cohort study of early treatment in acute stroke, focused on patients with ASPECTS ≤5 presenting within 24 hours of stroke onset and receiving CT followed by EVT from November 1, 2021 to February 8, 2023.

Ischemic stroke is one of the major causes of death and long-term disability worldwide. C-reactive protein (CRP) as a potential biomarker for functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between the level of CRP and functional outcome of stroke.

Background: To develop and validate a novel tool for predicting the development of malignant brain edema (MBE) in large vessel occlusion stroke patients after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).

Methods: We used a prospectively registered population of EVT patients from three comprehensive stroke centers. The population was randomly divided into two subsets (7:3): a training cohort and an internal validation cohort.

Background: Patients with previous stroke episodes tend to have poor outcomes after an endovascular treatment (EVT). Encephalomalacia (EM) is an objective indicator of previous strokes but has not been systematically investigated. The fundamental aim of this exploration is to investigate the effects of a pre-existing non-disabling EM on clinical outcomes after EVT.

Neurological deterioration (ND) is a devastating complication for patients with ischemic stroke after endovascular recanalization therapy (EVT). We aimed to investigate the time course and clinical relevance of ND after EVT. Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent EVT for large arterial occlusions of the anterior cerebral circulation were enrolled.

Background: Blood pressure (BP), recanalization status, and collateral circulation are important factors for cerebral autoregulation after stroke. We aimed to investigate the association of various BP variability (BPV) parameters with clinical outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) according to recanalization and collateral status.

Methods: We included 502 consecutive patients who underwent MT due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke at three comprehensive stroke centers.

Collateral density variations are a major determinant of stroke outcome. Here, we explored the association of missense variants in hypoxia-induced VEGFA/VEGFR2 signaling and stroke outcome. We recruited 683 large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke patients as the training set from Nanjing Stroke Registry Program between August 2013 and January 2016.

Osteoprotegerin is involved in the progression of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to determine whether TNFRSF11B polymorphisms are associated with prognosis of large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) stroke. Three TNFRSF11B polymorphisms (rs2073617, rs2073618 and rs3134069) were genotyped in 1010 patients with LAA stroke.

Background And Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate whether leukoaraiosis (LA) severity is associated with earlier neurological outcome in acute stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective multicenter study, we evaluated 273 acute stroke patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy. LA severity was graded as 0-2 (absent-to-moderate) versus 3-4 (severe) according to the van Swieten scale.

Endovascular thrombectomy improves the functional independence of patients with proximal anterior circulation occlusion. However, a subset of patients fail to benefit from thrombectomy procedures, the reasons for which remain poorly defined. In this study, we investigated whether the effectiveness of thrombectomy was affected by left- or right-sided occlusion among patients with similar stroke severities.

Purpose: To assess the safety of low-dose intra-arterial (IA) tirofiban bolus after unsuccessful mechanical thrombectomy in patients with ischemic stroke due to large artery occlusion in anterior cerebral circulation.

Materials And Methods: Patients with ischemic stroke who were treated with mechanical thrombectomy were enrolled in a multicenter registry. Low-dose tirofiban was injected into the residual arterial thrombus in patients after unsuccessful mechanical thrombectomy.

Background And Aims: A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) reported an association between a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs11196288 and risk of early-onset large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke in European population. The interaction between genetic and environmental factors such as age has also received increasing attention. We performed this study to investigate the association between the rs11196288A > G polymorphism and LAA stroke risk in the Chinese Han population and test whether age interacts rs11196288 to influence LAA stroke risk.

Recently, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) detected two histone deacetylase 9 (HDAC9) polymorphisms (rs2074633 and rs28688791) which may be associated with risk of large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke. This study aimed to investigate whether these two polymorphisms were associated with susceptibility, severity, and short-term outcome of LAA stroke in a southern Chinese Han population. rs2074633 and rs28688791 were genotyped using SNPscan technology in 1011 LAA stroke patients and 1121 healthy controls.

Background And Purpose: Genome-wide association studies discovered a novel correlation between chromosome 12q24 and ischemic stroke in European populations. This study aimed to determine whether two genetic variants (rs10744777 and rs886205) on chromosome 12q24 can modify the risk of ischemic stroke in Chinese population.

Methods: We recruited 1195 patients with ischemic stroke and 642 healthy Chinese individuals.

Methods: In this retrospective multicenter study, we evaluated 251 acute stroke patients (pretreatment National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≥8) treated with stent-retriever devices. Leukoaraiosis severity was graded as 0-2 (absent-to-moderate) versus 3-4 (severe) according to the van Swieten scale.

The inflammatory response plays a vital role in the development of in-stent restenosis (ISR) after carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS). The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been suggested as a sensitive inflammatory marker. We explored the association between NLR and ISR in CAS patients.
