TL;DR

In acute ICAS-related VBAO, a first-line SRT-based strategy was associated with better procedural performance than CAT, including higher first-pass recanalization, fewer strategy switches, and shorter puncture-to-recanalization time.

Outcomes Following First-Pass Direct Aspiration Versus Stent Retriever for Endovascular Thrombectomy in Primary Medium or Distal Vessel Occlusion: An Analysis of the SVIN Registry

Endovascular thrombectomy is increasingly performed for acute ischemic stroke due to medium vessel occlusion (MeVO); however, recent randomized trials—primarily using stent retriever (SR) techniques—have not demonstrated a clear benefit over medical management. This study aimed to compare the direct aspiration firs...

Stent retriever angioplasty with the Tigertriever as a bailout strategy for intracranial atherosclerotic disease–related large-vessel occlusion: illustrative cases

BACKGROUND Intracranial atherosclerotic disease–related large-vessel occlusion (ICAD-LVO) is associated with residual stenosis and early reocclusion following mechanical thrombectomy (MT), particularly in Asian populations. Conventional stent retrievers (SRs) are optimized for embolus removal and may not provide suffic...

An innovative endovascular approach for acute ischemic stroke attributable to ICAS-LVO: the RESCUE (Retrievable stent-Endovascular tirofiban-paSs-ExtraCtion-microgUide-rEscue angioplasty) technique

Background Conventional mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to intracranial atherosclerosis-related large vessel occlusion (ICAS-LVO) is associated with low first-pass reperfusion (FPR), distal embolization, and recurrent thrombosis. We designed a novel stepwise endovascular strategy, the R...

Safety-Oriented Endovascular-First Revascularization for Proximal Subclavian Artery Chronic Total Occlusion: Real-World Strategy Selection and Mid-Term Outcomes.

PURPOSE To report real-world outcomes of a safety-oriented, endovascular-first strategy for proximal atherosclerotic subclavian artery chronic total occlusion (CTO) and to develop a pragmatic computed tomography angiography (CTA)-based open-first consideration aid for anatomically unfavorable cases. MATERIALS AND MET...

Role of Thrombectomy Technique in Alteplase Bridging Intravenous Thrombolysis for Basilar Artery Occlusion.

BACKGROUND Endovascular treatment (EVT) is the standard of care for acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) although the role of bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with alteplase prior to EVT remains debated. Whether the effect of bridging IVT differs across EVT techniques has not been systematically assessed. METH...

Vascular Access Complexity and Thrombectomy Efficiency in Proximal MCA M1 Occlusion: Evaluation of the Bovine Aortic Arch–Dolichoarteriopathy Score

Background and Objective: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between the Bovine Aortic Arch–Dolichoarteriopathy (B.A.D.) score and the procedural characteristics of mechanical thrombectomy, recanalization success, and 90-day functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke with proxim...
