Mashup Score: 40The optimal management of arterial blood pressure in acute stroke: A never-ending conundrum - 1 day(s) ago
Our understanding of the influence of blood pressure (BP) on the development of acute ischemic stroke and its significance in preventing further occurrences has prompted numerous researchers to investigate its impact on acute stroke outcomes. Despite numerous randomized controlled trials conducted over the years, the results have been inconclusive, indicating that addressing clinical inquiries necessitates revisiting the underlying pathophysiology. Consequently, the question of whether to manage BP during acute ischemic stroke remains contentious.

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to investigate the impact of antiplatelet administration in the periprocedural period on the occurrence of thromboembolic complications (TECs) in patients undergoing treatment using the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device for intracranial wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms. The primary objective was to assess whether the use of antiplatelets in the pre- and postprocedural phases reduces the likelihood of developing TECs, considering various covariates. METHODS A retrospective multicenter observational study was conducted within the WorldWideWEB Consortium and comprised 38 academic centers with endovascular treatment capabilities. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the association between antiplatelet use and TECs, adjusting for covariates. Missing predictor data were addressed using multiple imputation. RESULTS The study comprised two cohorts: one addressing general thromboembolic events and consisting of 1

OBJECTIVE The recent introduction of the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) has presented an alternative treatment modality for intracranial bifurcation and wide-neck aneurysms with a growing body of literature evaluating its efficacy. However, no previous systematic review has focused on comparing WEB with previously using endovascular approaches, specifically primary coiling (PC) and stent-assisted coiling (SAC). Herein, the authors present the first systematic review summarizing available literature to reach a consensus regarding the safety and effectiveness of WEB. METHODS A systematic review of articles identified through a search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted. Studies were included if they compared WEB with PC or SAC from any aspect for intracranial aneurysms. Risk of bias was assessed using the Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies–of Interventions tool. Meta-analyses of the outcomes based on stent use and rupture status were performed. RESULTS A total of 16 s

of low-flow bypass surgery between 2003 and 2022, 215 patients with the ICAD refractory to medical treatment were finally enrolled in this study. Clinical and radiological outcomes were retrospectively evaluated, with survival analyses. RESULTS: All strokes, cerebral infarctions, and intracranial hemorrhages occurred in 12.1% (n = 26), 9.8% (n = 21), and 2.3% (n = 5), respectively, during the clinical follow-up of 54.6 ± 47.6 months (range, 0.6-237.8 months). Among all stroke events, 84.6% (n = 22) occurred within 30 postoperative days. The 2-year and 5-year cumulative risks of all strokes were 12.1% each. The mean modified Rankin Scale scores were 1.6 ± 1.1 (range, 0-5) preoperatively and 0.8 ± 1.2 (range, 0-6) at last (P < .01). The patency of direct bypass was 99.1% (n = 213) just before discharge and 96.3% (n = 184 of 191 patients with available tests) at the last angiographic follow-up of 27.0 ± 27.3 months (range, 2.3-97.3 months). All the patients with available data (n = 190) s
