Angioplasty and stenting of brachiocephalic artery stenosis can be complicated by ischemic stroke, local hematoma, thromboses, or dissection of access vessels. However, hemodynamic instability has not been reported as a complication of this treatment. We report the case of an 83-year-old man who developed hypotension and bradycardia after brachiocephalic artery stenting.

Background: Falls are common after stroke and can have serious consequences such as hip fracture. Prior research shows around half of individuals will fall within the 12 months post stroke and these falls are more likely to cause serious injury compared to people without stroke. However, there is limited research on risk factors collected in the immediate post-stroke period that may relate to falls risk.

Background: Vascular territory mapping (VTM) software estimates which intracerebral vessel provides predominant arterial flow to a brain voxel. The presence of antegrade flow in the setting of acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion is associated with improved outcomes. We identify whether VTM software is a determinant of antegrade flow in patients with proximal MCA occlusion.

Background: To evaluate the prognostic effect of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute base artery occlusion (ABAO) within 24 h of onset, and analyze the factors related to prognosis.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on all ABAO patients who received EVT within 24 h of onset in the neurology department of Baotou Central Hospital in Inner Mongolia from May 2016 to October 2022. Good prognosis was defined as a Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-3 and poor prognosis mRS score of 4-6 at 90 day follow-up, and factors related to prognosis were analyzed.

Introduction: Preclinical studies have shown that oxygen therapy can improve ischaemic brain tissue oxygen tension, reduce reperfusion injury after revascularisation, promote neuroregeneration and inhibit inflammatory responses potentially exerting a beneficial effect after endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS). However, the optimal fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO) during EVT under general anaesthesia is currently unknown. Therefore, we are conducting a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the impact of high-concentration oxygen vs low-concentration normobaric oxygen on early neurological function after EVT.
