Publisher Copyright: © The Author(s) 2025.; Background/purpose: Gender bias in academic medicine has been widely described. In Europe, training and career pathways in neurointervention (NI) are heterogeneous. We hypothesize that the access route to neuroradiology specialty and NI subspecialty may correlate with the proportion of women in the field and with their career progression. Methods: An online survey con...

Acute ischemic stroke patients with mild deficits (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] of 0-5) but confirmed large vessel occlusions (LVO) present a clinical challenge for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) decisions due to limited evidence and the absence of clear guidelines. A Delphi consensus was conducted at the 2024 5T (Teamwork, Training, Technology, Technique, Transport) Think Tank conference...
Background: The outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for medium vessel occlusions (MeVOs) of specific vascular territories remain unknown. We aimed to investigate EVT outcomes by MeVO locations using the data from an ongoing international multicenter registry. Methods: Patients with isolated MeVO who underwent EVT between January 2013 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Isolated MeVO was def...
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 analysis of the main treatment metrics regarding endovascular ...

Objective: The preoperative factors determining the selection of anesthetic technique in patients submitted to TAVI were identified. The results of this procedure in our hospital were evaluated. Methods: Retrospective study in patients submitted to TAVI in Santa Marta Hospital (January 2010 to December 2016). Data collected from periprocedural records and stratified according to the anesthetic technique. Peripr...
Introduction: Acute kidney injury is a frequent complication after transcatheter aortic valve implantation with great impact on morbidity and mortality. It is important to identify modifiable risk factors in order to develop preventive strategies. The aim of the study is to determine acute kidney injury incidence, risk factors and impact in patients that underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation.Materia...
Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a less invasive option for aortic valve replacement. The number of transcatheter aortic valve implantations under local anesthesia with sedation has been increasing as the team’s experience increases and less invasive accesses are used. The aim of this study is to describe the evolution of the anesthetic technique in patients undergoing transcatheter aort...
