Purpose Of Review: In the USA, around 30% of 795,000 strokes per year are due to proximal large-vessel occlusion, and these are a major cause of death and disability. We review the most recent advances regarding treatment of ischemic stroke amenable to mechanical thrombectomy.
Recent Findings: In the last four years, clinical trial evidence has expanded the time window for successful endovascular treatment to 24 h. Current research is aimed at expanding patient selection to mild strokes, large ischemic cores and occlusions of smaller, more distal blood vessels. Further, we have developed understanding of how to manage blood pressure after thrombectomy and even had promising results for a neuroprotective agent in these patients. Thrombectomy has transformed the treatment of ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion. Recent research has focused on expanding patient candidacy for endovascular treatment and improving medical management to support better neurologic outcomes.

Sex-specific mechanisms in vascular aging: exploring cellular and molecular pathways in the pathogenesis of age-related cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Geroscience

Vascular Cognitive Impairment, Neurodegeneration and Healthy Brain Aging Program, Department of Neurosurgery, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, OK, USA.
Aging remains the foremost risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, surpassing traditional factors in epidemiological significance. This review elucidates the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying vascular aging, with an emphasis on sex differences that influence disease progression and clinical outcomes in older adults. We discuss the convergence of aging processes at the macro- and microvascular levels and their contributions to the pathogenesis of vascular diseases.

Outcomes of venous sinus stenosis stenting in patients with pulsatile tinnitus and sigmoid sinus wall anomalies.

Neurology, Boston Medical Center, Boston University Chobanian and Aveidisian School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Transverse sinus stenosis (TSS) and sigmoid sinus wall anomalies (SSWAs) are the most common causes of pulsatile tinnitus (PT). While these conditions may co-occur, they usually require different management approaches. This study aims to evaluate whether TSS stenting alone, without targeted treatment of SSWAs, is sufficient to resolve PT in patients presenting with PT, TSS, and SSWAs.

Background: Hemorrhage is a major complication of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) embolization, which can be related to persistent arteriovenous shunts that were not completely occluded during the embolization. In transvenous embolization (TVE) this risk is deemed higher for AVMs larger than 3 cm featuring multiple veins of drainage. Herein, we will discuss a few selected cases where brain AVMs with more than one draining vein were deemed safe for curative embolization with advanced endovascular techniques after a careful anatomical study through the four dimensional-digital subtraction angiography (4D-DSA) imaging.
