Basilar artery occlusion management: specialist perspectives from an internatio...
Edwards, Christopher; Drumm, Brian; Siegler, James E.; Schonewille, Wouter J.; Klein, Piers; Huo, Xiaochuan; Chen, Yimin; Abdalkader, MohamadBackground and purpose: Two early basilar artery occlusion (BAO) randomized controlled trials did not establish the superiority of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) over medical management. While many providers continue to recommend EVT for acute BAO, perceptions of equipoise in randomizing patients with BAO to EVT versus medical management may differ between clinician specialties. Methods: We conducted an intern...
Global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stroke volumes and cerebrovascular ev...
Nguyen, Thanh N.; Qureshi, Muhammad M.; Klein, Piers; Yamagami, Hiroshi; Mikulik, Robert; Czlonkowska, Anna; Abdalkader, Mohamad; Sedova, PetraBackground and objectives: Declines in stroke admission, IV thrombolysis (IVT), and mechanical thrombectomy volumes were reported during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a paucity of data on the longer-term effect of the pandemic on stroke volumes over the course of a year and through the second wave of the pandemic. We sought to measure the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the volumes of str...
Decompressive surgery in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis due to vaccine‐induce...
Krzywicka, Katarzyna; de Sousa, Diana Aguiar; Cordonnier, Charlotte; Bode, Felix J.; Field, Thalia S.; Michalski, Dominik; Pelz, Johann; Skjelland, MonaBackground and purpose: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis due to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (CVST-VITT) is an adverse drug reaction occurring after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination. CVST-VITT patients often present with large intracerebral haemorrhages and a high proportion undergoes decompressive surgery. Clinical characteristics, therapeutic manag...
Endovascular treatment of cerebral sinus thrombosis due to vaccine-induced immu...
Weller, Johannes; Krzywicka, Katarzyna; van de Munckhof, Anita; Dorn, Franziska; Althaus, Katharina; Bode, Felix J.; Bandettini di Poggio, MonicaIntroduction: There is little data on the role of endovascular treatment (EVT) of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) due to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). Here, we describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of CVST-VITT patients who were treated with EVT. Patients and methods: We report data from an international registry of patients who developed CVST within 28 days of SARS...
Outcomes of cerebral venous thrombosis due to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic...
van de Munckhof, Anita; Lindgren, Erik; Kleinig, Timothy J.; Field, Thalia S.; Cordonnier, Charlotte; Krzywicka, Katarzyna; Poli, SvenBackground: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) due to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is a severe condition, with high in-hospital mortality rates. Here, we report clinical outcomes of patients with CVT-VITT after SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) vaccination who survived initial hospitalization. Methods: We used data from an international registry of patients ...
Management of cerebral venous thrombosis due to adenoviral COVID-19 vaccination
Scutelnic, Adrian; Krzywicka, Katarzyna; Mbroh, Joshua; van de Munckhof, Anita; van Kammen, Mayte Sánchez; de Sousa, Diana Aguiar; Lindgren, ErikObjective: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) caused by vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is a rare adverse effect of adenovirus-based severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines. In March 2021, after autoimmune pathogenesis of VITT was discovered, treatment recommendations were developed. These comprised immunomodulation, non-heparin anticoagulants, and avoidance...
