Femoral or radial access for MMA embolization? Is there a difference? Both can offer comparable results with slightly longer procedural duration radially and slightly better radiographic success with femoral access. Jan-Karl Burkhardt, MD bit.ly/46IP018 #MMA

What to do with basilar artery occlusions? Follow the ESO/ESMINT guidelines for their recommendations on the changing acute management presented by Strbian and van Zwam, et al. bit.ly/4diEVdC #Stroke #Thrombectomy

Its not just the arteries that are important! Jiang et al show favorable venous outflow may lead to better outcomes following thrombectomy due to decreasing severe ICH bit.ly/4cdXtKM #Stroke #Thrombectomy

What about the heart? Chen at al show chronic mitral regurgitation can mediate the heart-brain interaction and lead to early acute heart failure following mechanical thrombectomy, leading to worse EVT outcomes bit.ly/4dTQTuj #Stroke #Thrombectomy

Quantitative EEG shows significant correlation with NIHSS and infarct volume and highly accurate prediction of early neurological deterioration following mechanical thrombectomy, per Yan et al. bit.ly/3AhZ19d #Stroke #Thrombectomy

Towards a more accurate understanding of recurrent stroke risks in ICAD! Huang et al show that angiographic based quantitative flow ratio and plaque morphology may provide prognostic tools for stroke prediction. bit.ly/4fGl9Kz #Stroke #ICAD

Who remembers their physics? Sidora, Steinmen, et al certainly do as they demonstrate Bernoulli's formula can predict trans-stenotic pressure gradients in venous sinus stenosis. bit.ly/4clxn8K #IIH

Higher is better! The ASSIST investigators show high cervical carotid placement of a balloon-guide catheter leads to better recanalization rates in mechanical thrombectomy. bit.ly/4dlCE1u #Stroke #Thrombectomy #BGC

DWI hits occur more frequently with temporary (balloon-coiling) or permanent (stent-coiling, flow diversion) placement of parent artery devices compared with primary coiling or intrasaccular flow disruption while treating unruptured aneurysms bit.ly/3yAWNkP #aneurysms

Don't work harder, work smarter! Open-source large language models can accurately and efficiently extract clinical data from medical reports enhancing clinical documentation and research per Meddeb et al bit.ly/46CgKV5

Started 4 years ago in the peak of COVID as a single consultant, & now grown to a group of 9 neurointensivists with a dedicated 32-bed neurocritical care ICU, APPs, neuropharmacist, and UCNS-accredited Neurocritical Care fellowship program! BarrowNeurological Brad Racette, MD @RuchiraMJha

Nickel containing stents for venous sinus stenting may not create allergic reactions in nickel hypersensitive patients per McGrath et al Michael Levitt, MD bit.ly/4dCzWEe #iih

Knappich et al show that routine embolic protection device use in carotid artery stenting really does lower stroke risks! bit.ly/3YCIUND #stroke #carotidstenting

Our very own Dr. Aditya Kumar has worked diligently to bring PbtO2 monitors to the neuro ICU with BarrowNeurological neurosurgery residents! Treating TBI, one patient at a time! Ruchira Jha Adi Patrick Crooks #neuroICU

Acute carotid stenting for tandem lesions can be safe and effective in large core infarct patients per the ETIS registry investigators bit.ly/3YDQdo9 #stroke #thrombectomy #tandemlesion #largecore

Rossmann et al provide results of a large series of long-term risks of hemorrhage and complications in the treatment of high-grade intracranial dural AVF, showing low rates of long-term hemorrhage if angiographic occlusion can be achieved bit.ly/46EkhC5 #AVF

Higher proceduralist stroke thrombectomy volume is associated with reduced inpatient mortality | Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery jnis.bmj.com/content/early/…

When do you stop? The ETIS study group demonstrates successful reperfusion is associated with better outcomes and no higher hemorrhagic risks even after six passes in mechanical thrombectomy compared to unsuccessful reperfusion bit.ly/3SJ7Hfj #stroke #thrombectomy

Asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage following mechanical thrombectomy is associated with worse clinical outcomes, especially in older patients or those with worse baseline functional statuses, per Zhang et al bit.ly/4dzWN3w #stroke #thrombectomy
