“Mechanical thrombectomy beyond 6 hours for acute ischemic strokes due to M2 oc...

Publisher Copyright: © 2024 The Author(s); Background: The time frame for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is enlarging. Guidelines recommend MT until 6 h of symptom onset in M2 segment occlusions (grade IIB). In practice, it is frequently performed later. Aims: To assess the functional prognosis of AIS patients subjected to M2 segment's MT beyond 6 h, compared to standard interventio...

The influence of prestroke disability on outcome in patients with a low Alberta...

Publisher Copyright: © AANS 2025.; OBJECTIVE The definitive influence of prestroke disability on outcomes in patients with a low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) treated with endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large-vessel occlusion (LVO) remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the impact of prestroke disability on outcomes in this specific population....

The impact of demographics and positioning on the imaging features of the optic...

Publisher Copyright: © The Author(s) 2025.; Background: There are significant discrepancies in the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) reported in the literature. We aimed to determine the ultrasonographic imaging features of ONSD and ophthalmic vessels in a healthy population, using a standardized protocol, and to estimate the effect of demographics and positioning changes on imaging measurements. Methods: We m...

Reducing the global burden of cerebral venous thrombosis

Background: Due to the rarity of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), performing high-quality scientific research in this field is challenging. Providing answers to unresolved research questions will improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, and ultimately translate to a better outcome of patients with CVT. We present an international research agenda, in which the most important research questions in the field...

Clinical and radiographic outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy in medium-vess...

Publisher Copyright: © The Author(s) 2024.; Background: Whereas mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has become standard-of-care treatment for patients with salvageable brain tissue after acute stroke caused by large-vessel occlusions, the results of MT in patients with medium-vessel occlusions (MEVOs), particularly in the posterior cerebral artery (PCA), are not well known. Methods: Using data from the international S...

Acesso a tratamento endovascular para acidente vascular cerebral isquémico em p...

Publisher Copyright: Copyright Ordem dos M dicos 2021.; Introduction: Since the publication of endovascular treatment trials and European Stroke Guidelines, Portugal has re-organized stroke healthcare. The nine centers performing endovascular treatment are not equally distributed within the country, which may lead to differential access to endovascular treatment. Our main aim was to perform a descriptive analys...
