The safety and efficacy of periprocedural intravenous anticoagulants for acute ischemic stroke patients who underwent endovascular treatment: Sub-analysis of the RESCUE-Japan Registry 2.

The efficacy and safety of periprocedural anticoagulant therapy are still controversial. We investigated the effects of periprocedural anticoagulation on patients who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The patients were dichotomized into two groups according to the use of intravenous anticoagulant during or within 24 h after EVT (AC or non-AC group).

Impact of Procedure Time on Clinical Outcomes of Patients Who Underwent Endovascular Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Background And Purpose: The time from onset to reperfusion is associated with clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO); nevertheless, the time limit of the continuing procedure remains unclear. We analyzed the relationship between procedure time and clinical outcomes in patients with LVO who underwent endovascular treatment (EVT).

Methods: We assessed 1,247 patients who underwent EVT for LVO.

Long-Term Outcome of Endovascular Therapy for Large or Giant Thrombosed Intracranial Aneurysms.

Objective: Large or giant thrombosed intracranial aneurysms (LGTIAs) are highly associated with poor prognosis and remain a challenging disease to treat by either surgery or endovascular treatment (EVT). EVT is considered more difficult for complicated aneurysm like LGTIAs. To understand long-term clinical and angiographic outcomes of EVT for LGTIAs, we retrospectively analyzed our single-center data on multimodality EVT for patients with LGTIAs.

Coexistence of gastrointestinal stromal tumor and leiomyosarcoma of the stomach presenting as a collision tumor: A case report and review of literature.

Collision tumor of the stomach is rare. We report a rare case of a gastric collision tumor consisting of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and leiomyosarcoma (LMS). Computed tomography scan revealed a 15 cm sized mass in the posterior wall of the body of the stomach.

A review of the history of the origin of triage from a disaster medicine perspective.

We usually associate triage with the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment method, but much of its origin is still unknown. Therefore, French studies and the origin of triage shown in domestic and foreign published works have been investigated and its significance reaffirmed. The etymology of the word "triage" means "to break into three pieces.
