Background: Data about the safety and the efficacy of flow diversion for distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms are limited. We present the largest multicenter analysis evaluating the outcomes of flow diversion in unruptured DACA aneurysm treatment.
Methods: Databases from 39 centers were retrospectively reviewed for unruptured DACA aneurysms treated with flow-diverting stents.

We herein report the case of a pediatric patient suffering from subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a ruptured internal carotid artery (ICA) saccular aneurysm. Considering the unfavorable anatomy and irregular shape of the aneurysm, a flow diverter (FD) stent was positioned in addition to coils in an acute setting. Cangrelor (Kengreal, Chiesi, USA) IV bolus followed by maintenance IV infusion was administered in addition to ASA at the time of intervention.

Introduction: Data on safety and efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke in older patients are limited and controversial, and people aged 80 or older were under-represented in randomized trials. Our aim was to assess EVT effect for ischemic stroke patients aged ⩾80 at a nationwide level.
Patients And Methods: The cohort included stroke patients undergoing EVT from the Italian Registry of Endovascular Treatment in Acute Stroke (IRETAS).

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that endovascular thrombectomy is beneficial for treatment of childhood stroke, but the safety and effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy has not been compared with best medical treatment. We aimed to prospectively analyse functional outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy versus best medical treatment in children with intracranial arterial occlusion stroke.
Methods: In this prospective registry study, 45 centres in 12 countries across Asia and Australia, Europe, North America, and South America reported functional outcomes for children aged between 28 days and 18 years presenting with arterial ischaemic stroke caused by a large-vessel or medium-vessel occlusion who received either endovascular thrombectomy plus best medical practice or best medical treatment alone.

Glanzmann Thrombasthenia (GT) is an inherited platelet disorder caused by defects in platelet integrin αβ (GPIIb/IIIa), which is a platelet receptor essential for the binding of fibrinogen. This can lead to severe bleeding, especially after trauma or perioperatively, and to microcytic anemia because of chronic blood loss. We report on a 40-year-old female patient with extensive bleeding complications and platelet antibody formation who presented in Homburg and Freiburg for extensive platelet function analyses and molecular genetic analyses.
