To define the histopathogenesis of successful and unsuccessful recanalization following selective intracoronary thrombolysis, coronary angiography (CAG) in thrombolysis and histologic findings were compared in 13 patients who died within four days (mean 1.5 days) after the procedure. Thirteen infarct-related arteries were evaluated in respect to recanalization; presence of an intraluminal thrombus, and rupture and hemorrhage of atheromatous plaques were histologically evaluated in serial sections. Intraluminal thrombi of the infarct-related coronary artery were found in all of the five cases with unsuccessful recanalization and in none of the eight cases with successful recanalization. Rupture and hemorrhage of atheromatous plaques in infarct-related arteries were observed in all of the five cases with unsuccessful recanalization and in seven of the eight cases with successful recanalization. It was concluded that 1) in recanalized cases, thrombi are considered to be lysed; 2) unsuccessful recanalization does not necessarily indicate the absence of thrombi; and 3) rupture and hemorrhage of atheromatous plaques do not affect recanalization.

Background: There are still some patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke experienced unsuccessful recanalization after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). The efficacy of intravenous alteplase before thrombectomy for such patients is unknown. We performed this study to investigate whether prior intravenous alteplase could affect the outcome of patients with unsuccessful recanalization.

Cavoportal hemitransposition (CPHT) is a rarely performed treatment technique in liver transplantation in cases of extensive splanchnic thrombosis, in which the inferior vena cava of the recipient is used to perfuse the portal vein of the allograft. A case of a 65-year-old liver transplantation patient with an acutely thrombosed cavoportal anastomosis is presented. After unsuccessful medical treatment, recanalization was obtained with transfemoral catheter directed thrombolysis, angioplasty and stent placement.

Mechanical thrombectomy using a stent retriever is a widely-used technique for recanalizing occluded cerebral arteries in acute ischemic stroke. Although rare, inadvertent stent detachment has primarily been reported with earlier stent retriever designs. We present 2 cases of inadvertent stent detachment with the pRESET stent.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates factors leading to early stopping during mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke patients, focusing on those that do not achieve a successful recanalization score (mTICI ≥2b).
- An analysis of 2,977 patients revealed that factors such as higher age, worse pre-stroke conditions, and certain complications during the procedure were linked to early stopping without successful recanalization.
- The findings suggest that decisions to stop the procedure often correspond to the patient's overall prognosis, indicating that both favorable and unfavorable conditions can influence the likelihood of early intervention cessation.

Article Synopsis
- Endovascular therapy (EVT) is effective for treating acute large vessel occlusion (LVO), but some patients do not achieve successful recanalization, prompting this study.
- The research analyzed data from the RESCUE-Japan Registry 2, comparing outcomes of patients who had unsuccessful EVT to those who received no EVT, focusing on recovery and complications.
- Results indicated that patients with unsuccessful EVT had poorer recovery scores, increased mortality rates, and more frequent symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages compared to the no EVT group.
