Concurrent Anterior Cerebral Artery and Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusions Predict Poor Neurological Outcome Despite Successful Thrombectomy in Anterior Circulation Stroke Open
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Despite successful endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke, a significant proportion of patients demonstrate fast and early progression of infarct core and fail to achieve functional independence at 9…

Establishing the feasibility and reliability of broadband absorption spectroscopy for measuring cerebral water content in adults Open
Broadband absorption spectroscopy (BAS) has the potential to fill an unmet need for a non-invasive monitor of cerebral edema. In this work, we demonstrated the feasibility of BAS to measure water content in the adult human head by quantify…

Repeat thrombectomy after large vessel re-occlusion: a propensity score matched analysis of technical and clinical outcomes Open
Background Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) remains the standard of care for acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. However, the safety and efficacy of repeat thrombectomy (rEVT) in recurrent LVO remains unclear. This study uses a large…

Comparison of diffuse correlation spectroscopy analytical models for measuring cerebral blood flow in adults Open
We found that the homogeneous model has the highest pass rate, lowest CV at rest, and most significant correlation with MCA blood flow velocities. Results from the multilayer models should be taken with caution because they suffer from low…

O-072 Clip ligation of ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysms is associated with less vasospasm compared to other aneurysms Open
Introduction Clip ligation of ruptured aneurysm is more commonly associated with vasospasm compared to endovascular embolization. Here, we examine if this relationship holds true for middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms, given the differ…

Microvascular cerebral blood flow response to intrathecal nicardipine is associated with delayed cerebral ischemia Open
One of the common complications of non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Intrathecal (IT) administration of nicardipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB), upon detection of large-artery cerebral vas…

E-011 Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage overnight: urgent or emergent intervention? Open
Introduction Optimal timing of intervention after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) remains unclear. Practices vary from urgent/early intervention within a day of presentation to emergent/ultra-early occlusion upon presentation. Wh…

LB006 Microvascular cerebral blood flow response to intrathecal nicardipine is associated with delayed cerebral ischemia in subarachnoid hemorrhage Open
Introduction One common complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is cerebral vasospasm, a maladaptive response that can lead to a secondary stroke. Intrathecal (IT) administration of nicardipine holds promise as a safe treatment for c…

O-018 Bridging thrombolysis does not increase complications of rescue intracranial stenting Open
Introduction Given the mixed results of recent clinical trials, the role of bridging therapy with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) remains contested. These results highlight the need to ide…

P-053 Delayed presentations, increased complications, and worse outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the COVID-19 Era Open
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has led to excess mortality out of proportion to documented COVID-19 cases while also affecting the care of non-COVID-19 related diseases. No data exist on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the care…

Differential effect of mechanical thrombectomy and intravenous thrombolysis in atrial fibrillation associated stroke Open
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) associated ischemic stroke has worse functional outcomes, less effective recanalization, and increased rates of hemorrhagic complications after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Limited data exist about th…

Trends in Reperfusion Therapy for In-Hospital Ischemic Stroke in the Endovascular Therapy Era Open
In this cohort study, in-hospital stroke onset was increasingly reported and treated with reperfusion therapy. Compared with out-of-hospital stroke onset, in-hospital onset was associated with longer delays to reperfusion and worse functio…
