Objective: To assess whether the effectiveness and safety of recanalization therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large-artery occlusion (LAO) differ between patients aged 60-79 years and patients aged ≥80 years.

Methods: We analyzed prospective data of patients with LAO (≥60 years) who underwent recanalization therapy at the Department of Vascular Neurosurgery, New Era Stroke Care and Research Institute, PLA Rocket Force Characteristic Medical Center, from November 2013 to July 2017. The data were compared between elderly patients (60-79 years) and very elderly patients (≥80 years).

Objectives: The optimal treatment of symptomatic non-acute atherosclerotic intracranial large artery occlusion (ILAO) beyond 24 h from onset remains uncertain. We investigate the outcomes of late endovascular recanalization for symptomatic non-acute atherosclerotic ILAO.

Patients And Methods: From September 2013 to July 2018, with safety as the first principle, late endovascular recanalization for symptomatic non-acute atherosclerotic ILAO beyond 24 h from onset was attempted in 32 consecutive patients.

Objective: To investigate the safety of triple antiplatelet therapy (TAT) with cilostazol in patients undergoing stenting for extracranial and/or intracranial artery stenosis.

Methods: A prospectively collected database was reviewed to identify patients who underwent stenting for extracranial and/or intracranial artery stenosis and showed resistance to aspirin and/or clopidogrel as assessed by pre-stenting thromboelastography (TEG) testing. Patients were assigned to a TAT group and a dual antiplatelet therapy (DAT) group.
