Mechanical thrombectomy with Q catheter in stroke caused by primary and secondary distal and medium vessel occlusions.

Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, 159003Southmead Hospital, North Bristol NHS Trust, Bristol, UK.
Background: The MIVI Q aspiration catheters have been shown to achieve significantly greater flow rates than other intracranial aspiration catheters in vitro. We describe our initial real-world experience with the MIVI Q catheter in emergent acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by distal and medium vessel occlusions (DMVO).
Methods: Data was collated from a prospectively maintained database which included patients from October 2019 to December 2022.

BackgroundThe sensitivity of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to detect the effects of treatment change depends on the match between the change in items of the PRO and the change that takes place in a sample of people. The aim of this study is to compare the sensitivity of different PROs in detecting changes following the initiation of biologic treatment in asthma. Patients starting a biologic treatment as part of clinical care completed the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-6), the Severe Asthma Questionnaire (SAQ and SAQ-global scores) and the EQ5D (EQ-5D-5L and EQ5D-VAS) at baseline.

Aortic and supra-aortic arterial tortuosity and access technique: Impact on time to device deployment in stroke thrombectomy.
Interv Neuroradiol

Neuroradiology Department, 159003Southmead Hospital, North Bristol NHS Trust, Bristol, UK.
Background: Longer intervals to reperfusion in patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO) stroke are associated with worse outcomes and influenced by the operator's ability to navigate individual anatomy. Our aims were to assess the impact of time from puncture to first deployment of the MT device (DT) on technical and clinical outcomes, develop an natomical Asessment for echanical hrombectomy core (ASMETS) that could predict DT and assess how different methods of intracranial access (coaxial-direct or exchange) influence this.
Methods: Retrospective review of a prospective database of patients treated with MT for ELVO between November 2015 and August 2018.
