Article Synopsis
  • - The study reviews how dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT-AC) with aspirin and clopidogrel has been increasingly used among stroke patients who didn't qualify for major clinical trials, particularly after the CHANCE trial results became available in 2013.
  • - Analysis of data from over 32,000 patients from 2008 to 2022 showed that the usage of DAPT-AC rose significantly from 33% in 2008 to 78% in 2022, while the use of other antiplatelet medications decreased.
  • - Despite this increase in DAPT-AC usage, clinical outcomes, including stroke rates and mortality, improved only slightly, indicating ongoing efforts are needed to enhance recovery

Background: Clinical outcome of ischemic cardiogenic shock (CS) requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is highly variable, necessitating appropriate assessment of prognosis. However, a systemic predictive model estimating the mortality of refractory ischemic CS is lacking. The PRECISE (Prediction of In-Hospital Mortality for Patients With Refractory Ischemic Cardiogenic Shock Requiring Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support) score was developed to predict the prognosis of refractory ischemic CS due to acute myocardial infarction.

Background Off-hour presentation can affect treatment delay and clinical outcomes in endovascular therapy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke. We aimed to examine the treatment delays and clinical outcomes of EVT between on- and off-hour admission and to evaluate the effect of hospital procedure volume and the number of neurointerventionalists on off-hour EVT. Methods and Results From a multicenter registry, we identified patients who were treated with EVT within 12 hours of symptom.

Intravenous tissue-plasminogen activator (IV-TPA) treatment in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients due to small vessel occlusion (SVO) has been debated because of its small expected benefit and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) risk. Furthermore, data on subgroups of SVO patients are limited. From a prospective multicenter stroke registry database, AIS patients due to SVO within 24 h from onset were selected.

Background White matter hyperintensities ( WMHs ) are commonly asymmetric between hemispheres but for unknown reasons. We investigated asymmetric WMHs associated with lacunar infarcts. Methods and Results A total of 267 consecutive patients with small first-ever supratentorial infarcts (≤20 mm) were included.

*Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Emory Spine Center †Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Atlanta, GA ‡Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama, Japan §Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Ilsan Paik Hospital Inje University, Goyang-si, Korea.

Study Design: A biomechanical study.

Objective: How much of the facet joint and the pars interarticularis (PI) can be removed in microendoscopic lateral decompression (MELD) for lumbar foraminal stenosis (LFS)?

Summary Of Background Data: MELD is a surgical modality for patients with LFS. In severe degenerative cases, unilateral facet joint resection or unilateral removal of the lateral part of the PI are sometimes needed to decompress the nerve root adequately.
