Acute concomitant occlusions of the extracranial internal carotid artery and intracranial vessels frequently require multiple passes with stent-retrievers for mechanical thrombectomy. Due to the large clot burden associated with these occlusions, their response to intravenous thrombolysis is poor. We herein report a successful case of evacuating a massive clot (>14 cm) in a single-pass using a stent-retrieval device.

First pass effect in patients undergoing endovascular treatment for posterior circulation acute ischemic stroke.
J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis
May 2024
Neurology Department, Nanyang Central Hospital, Nanyang 473000, China. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- This study examined how the first pass effect (FPE) influences outcomes in patients with posterior circulation acute ischemic stroke (PC-AIS) who underwent endovascular treatment.
- Researchers reviewed data from 328 patients, finding that those in the FPE group had a significantly higher rate of favorable outcomes (mRS ≤ 3) compared to those who experienced multiple pass effects (MPE).
- Key factors leading to successful FPE included specific treatment methods (aspiration or combination) and certain patient characteristics, while negative factors included hypertension and the use of general anesthesia.
First pass effect as an independent predictor of functional outcomes in medium vessel occlusions: An analysis of an international multicenter study.

Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, Erasme University Hospital, Brussels, Belgium.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the first pass effect (FPE) in endovascular treatment (EVT) for medium vessel occlusion strokes, focusing on its predictors and impact on patient outcomes.
- The analysis included 836 patients, revealing that FPE occurred in 36.1% and was linked to better functional outcomes as well as lower rates of mortality and intracranial hemorrhage.
- FPE was significantly associated with favorable outcomes at 90 days, suggesting its importance in improving recovery and reducing complications in stroke patients.
Endovascular embolization of persistent liver injuries not responding to conservative management: a narrative review.

Article Synopsis
- Trauma leads to over five million deaths annually, with liver injuries being common in abdominal trauma, especially in those under 40, where mortality rates from liver-related hemorrhage can be as high as 50%.
- The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma grading scale traditionally classifies liver injuries, but new systems like the World Society of Emergency Surgery classification are taking physiological status into account.
- Advances in diagnostic techniques, including multiphase CT and CEUS, aim to minimize radiation exposure, while nonoperative management combined with angiography shows high success rates in treating liver trauma.
Endovascular thrombectomy first-pass reperfusion and ancillary device placement.

Background: Recent randomized trials have demonstrated the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in treating acute ischemic stroke, however, further research is required to optimize this technique. We aimed to evaluate the impact of guide catheter position and clot crossing on revascularization rates using A Direct Aspiration First Pass Technique (ADAPT).
Methods: Data were collected between January 2018 and August 2019 as part of the Spanish ADAPT Registry on ACE catheters (SARA), a multicenter observational study assessing real-world thrombectomy outcomes.
Atrial fibrillation is associated with higher first pass effect following thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion.

Background: First pass effect (FPE), defined as single-pass complete or near complete reperfusion during endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes, is a critical performance metric. Atrial fibrillation (AF)-related strokes have different clot composition compared with non-AF strokes, which may impact thrombectomy reperfusion results. We compared FPE rates in AF and non-AF stroke patients to evaluate if AF-related strokes had higher FPE rates.
