Background: The role of stroke etiology subtype in patients with acute large vessel occlusion on the occurrence of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after endovascular treatment is poorly studied, and which factors mediate their relationship remains largely unknown. We utilized nationwide registry data to explore the association of stroke subtype (cardioembolism versus large artery atherosclerosis) with HT and to identify the possible mediators.
Methods: A total of 1015 subjects were selected from the ANGEL-ACT registry (Endovascular Treatment Key Technique and Emergency Work Flow Improvement of Acute Ischemic Stroke)-a prospective consecutive cohort of acute large vessel occlusion patients undergoing endovascular treatment at 111 hospitals in China between November 2017 and March 2019-and divided into large artery atherosclerosis (n=538) and cardioembolism (n=477) according to the Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment criteria. The types of HT included any intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), parenchymal hematoma, and symptomatic ICH within 24 hours after endovascular treatment. The association between stroke subtype and HT was analyzed using a logistic regression model. Mediation analysis was done to assess how much of the effect of stroke subtype on HT was mediated through the identified mediators.
Results: Stroke subtype (cardioembolism versus large artery atherosclerosis) was associated with increased risk of any ICH (29.8% versus 16.5%; odds ratio, 2.03 [95% CI, 1.22-3.36]), parenchymal hematoma (14.3% versus 5.4%; odds ratio, 2.90 [95% CI, 1.38-6.13]), and symptomatic ICH (9.9% versus 4.7%; odds ratio, 2.59 [95% CI, 1.09-6.16]) after adjustment for potential confounders. The more thrombectomy passes in cardioembolism patients had a significant mediation effect on the association of stroke subtype with increased risk of HT (any ICH, 15.9%; parenchymal hematoma, 13.4%; symptomatic ICH, 14.2%, respectively).
Conclusions: Stroke subtype is an independent risk factor for HT within 24 hours following endovascular treatment among acute large vessel occlusion patients. Mediation analyses propose that stroke subtype contributes to HT partly through thrombectomy pass, suggesting a possible pathomechanistic link.

Prognostic analysis of endovascular mechanical thrombectomy in stroke patients with acute internal carotid artery obstruction based on circle of Willis variation.

Objective: Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EVMT) is widely employed in patients with acute intracranial carotid artery occlusion (AIICAO). This study aimed to predict the outcomes of EVMT following AIICAO by utilizing anatomic classification of the circle of Willis and its relative position to the thrombus.
Methods: In this study, we retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 108 patients with AIICAO who underwent endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EVMT) at Shaoxing People's Hospital.
Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage represents a critical subtype of stroke, imposing substantial social and economic challenges. Considering the considerable impact of intracerebral hemorrhage in Asia and the absence of studies detailing its epidemiological features, the aim of this study is to elucidate the temporal trends and distribution characteristics of intracerebral hemorrhage in Asia from 1990 to 2021, as well as to forecast the future burden.
Methods: The data derived from Global Disease Burden Study 2021 were used to investigate the age-standardized rates and absolute numbers of incident intracerebral hemorrhage cases and related deaths in Asia across genders, age groups and geographical locations.

Introduction: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a severe complication in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) after endovascular treatment (EVT). We hypothesize that asymmetry of the internal cerebral veins (ICVs) on baseline CT angiogram (CTA) may serve as an adjunctive predictor of HT.
Methods: We conducted a study on consecutive AIS-LVO patients from November 2020 to April 2022.

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most lethal and devastating subtype of stroke. Basal ganglia hemorrhage and thalamic hemorrhage are the most common types of ICH, accounting for 50-70% of all ICH cases, leading to disability and death, and it involves the posterior limb of the internal capsule to varying degrees. In this study, we investigated the impact of varying degrees of the involvement of the posterior limb of the internal capsule on the prognosis of patients with basal ganglia and thalamic ICH and assessed whether it improves the predictive accuracy of the max-ICH score, an existing scale for ICH functional outcome.

The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiological characteristics of population-based stroke incidence and case fatality rates in China, which are nationally representative.
Methods: In 2013, a nationally representative household survey was conducted at 155 survey sites in 31 provinces.
