Purpose: Detection of vessel wall tissue in thrombus material in patients with ischemic stroke is judged as vascular injury. So far, several studies investigated components of the free clots after mechanical thrombectomy. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the involvement and role of the stentriever in vessel wall injury by analysis of the composition of adherent tissue to the stentriever during combined aspiration thrombectomy with stentriever.
Methods: Stentriever with adherent tissue and free clots in aspiration samples from patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (aspiration plus stentriever) were separately assessed for the occurrence of parts of vascular tissue together with clinical and interventional data as well as clinical outcome data. Specimens were analyzed histomorphologically and immunohistochemically. Findings, focused on parts of vessel wall were reported together with clinical data.
Results: Specimens from 21 identified patients were available. Parts of the vessel wall were detected in 7 out 21 (33%) samples. All specimens revealed fresh thrombus material without signs of organization or atheromatous tissue. In 90% of patients mTICI was greater than 2b without signs of secondary vessel injury. No vascular tissue was found in free clots of the aspiration samples.
Conclusion: The examination of adherent tissue to the stentriever instead of the examination of free clots may affect the number of detected parts of vessel wall. Further studies in combination with vessel wall imaging may elucidate the origin of remnants of vessel wall.

Biomagnetic fluid dynamics (BFD) is an emerging and promising field within fluid mechanics, focusing on the dynamics of bio-fluids like blood in the presence of magnetic fields. This research is crucial in the medical arena for applications such as medication delivery, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, prevention of excessive bleeding, and treatment of malignant tumors using magnetic particles. This study delves into the intricacies of blood flow induced by cilia, carrying trihybrid nanoparticles (gold, copper, and titania), within a catheterized arterial annulus under a robust magnetic field.

Introduction And Importance: Thymoma is the most common primary anterior mediastinal tumor in adults. Invasive thymomas infiltrate organs adjacent to the mediastinal pleura, including the lungs, great vessels, heart, pericardium, and diaphragm. Complete resection of invasive thymoma leads to a better prognosis.

The aim of this study was to describe the features of myocardial lymph flow using a new combined method of visualization of the lymphatic system. The study was performed on pig hearts harvested from a local slaughterhouse. The original dye, consisting of lipid-soluble chlorophyll and lipiodol, was injected stepwise into the lymphatic vessels.

A novel microfluidic platform was designed to study the cellular architecture of endothelial cells (ECs) in an environment replicating the 3D organization and flow of blood vessels. In particular, the platform was constructed to investigate EC defects in slow-flow venous malformations (VMs) under varying shear stress and flow conditions. The platform featured a standard microtiter plate footprint containing 32 microfluidic units capable of replicating wall shear stress (WSS) in normal veins and enabling precise control of shear stress and flow directionality without the need for complex pumping systems.

To explore the value of vessel wall MRI (VW-MRI) in the preoperative assessment of T3 renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) with varying degrees of longitudinal venous system invasion. Patients with RCC with pathological T3 stage between January 2016 and December 2023 were included in this retrospective study. All the patients underwent contrast-enhanced CT (CECT), conventional MRI (con-MRI) or VW-MRI.
