The clinical presentation and epidemiology of infective endocarditis (IE) have evolved over time. While the cornerstones of IE treatment remain antimicrobial therapy and surgery, percutaneous mechanical aspiration (PMA) has emerged as an option for carefully selected patients as a complementary modality, based on retrospective data, case series, and expert experience. In this comprehensive review, we summarize the proceedings from an inaugural summit dedicated to the discussion of PMA in the global management of IE, consisting of experts across multiple disciplines from diverse geographic regions and care environments.

Introduction: Despite the implementation of mechanical thrombectomy, acute ischaemic stroke with large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) remains a significant health concern, characterised by substantial morbidity and mortality. Our trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of minocycline in reducing infarct volume and improving functional outcomes in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for anterior circulation AIS-LVO.

Methods And Analysis: The MIST-A trial is a prospective, randomised, open-label, blinded-endpoint trial to be conducted across 12 medical centres.

Ischemic stroke results in significant long-term disability and mortality worldwide. Although existing therapies, such as recombinant tissue plasminogen activator and mechanical thrombectomy, have shown promise, their application is limited by stringent conditions. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation, especially using SB623 cells (modified human bone marrow-derived MSCs), has emerged as a promising alternative, promoting neurogenesis and recovery.
