Article Synopsis
  • Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has significantly improved outcomes for acute ischemic stroke, but the challenge lies in ensuring widespread access and sufficient training for interventional neuroradiologists (INRs) across Europe.
  • A survey conducted among European Society of Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy (ESMINT) members collected responses from 240 INRs across 33 countries, revealing that many thrombectomy-capable stroke centers perform fewer than 150 MT procedures yearly and mostly use specific techniques for recanalization.
  • The findings highlight a disparity in MT practices among centers and suggest a need for more staffing and training programs to meet the increasing demand for MT in Europe.

Review of definition and treatment of upper rectal cancer.

Surg Oncol

December 2024

Department of Digestive, Oncological, Endocrine, Hepatobiliary and Liver Transplant, Trousseau Hospital, University Hospital of Tours, France. Electronic address:

While the treatment of locally advanced lower and middle rectal cancer with total mesorectal excision (TME) after neoadjuvant therapy is now well defined, the treatment of locally advanced upper rectal cancer (LAURC) remains controversial. Although most teams and academic societies recommend upfront surgery (US) with partial mesorectal excision (PME), as this appears to be sufficient for these tumors, the literature remains conflicting regarding the additional use of neoadjuvant therapy and TME. Current recommendations for the treatment of LAURC do not reflect actual clinical practice.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of two treatment methods for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by distal medium vessel occlusion (DMVO): intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) versus IVT alone.
  • Data was collected from 37 centers worldwide, involving over 1,000 patients, with the primary focus on functional independence at 90 days and secondary outcomes including mortality and intracerebral hemorrhage.
  • Findings suggest that both treatment options yield similar functional and mortality outcomes for DMVO patients, but the MT-IVT approach carries a higher risk of hemorrhagic complications, indicating that it may not provide significant advantages over IVT alone for every patient.
