Article Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to describe and analyze the rate of clot migration of vessel thrombosis to distal segments in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who received intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with tenecteplase (TNK) and alteplase (ALT) before mechanical thrombectomy (MT). In addition, we aimed to determine the relationship between thrombus migration and functional prognosis.
Methods: This study followed the STROBE reporting guidelines. We performed a retrospective analysis of a series of patients from November 2017 to April 2023 with an AIS with thrombosis on CT imaging, treated with IVT (TNK or ALT, split into two distinct groups) prior to mechanical thrombectomy.
Results: Two hundred and fifty-six patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) were included. Ninety-six had received TNK. One hundred and sixty had received ALT. Of the 96 TNK patients, 25 experienced either complete recanalization ( = 3) or thrombus migration ( = 22). Of the 160 ALT patients, 20 experienced either complete recanalization ( = 6) or thrombus migration ( = 14). The difference being statistically substantial for the thrombus migration rate (OR = 3.61, 95% confidence interval: 1.63; 7.98). Migration to an irretrievable very distal segment occurred in four (4%) patients with TNK and in three patients (2%) with ALT ( > 0.05). Thrombus migration was not significantly associated to a different functional prognosis, measured through Rankin scale after 3 months (OR = 0.44, 95% confidence interval: 0.17; 1.12).
Conclusion: The use of TNK over ALT as a fibrinolytic agent is associated with a higher thrombus migration rate. The migration of thrombi to distal segments, which are theoretically less accessible for mechanical thrombectomy, did not result in worse clinical outcomes.

Purpose: To characterize the histologic and inflammatory changes that resulted from peripheral embolization using Onyx (EVOH) in an animal model. This study also assessed the radiopacity of the Onyx after a 1-minute mixing time.
Methods: Embolization using EVOH alone or in combination with coils/plugs was performed on large vessel, small vessel, and very small vessel (3-5 mm, 1-3 mm, and <1 mm in diameter, respectively) targets in the peripheral vasculature of Yucatan miniature pigs.
Pulmonary emboli (PE) are a common clinical problem seen when a peripheral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) migrates to the pulmonary arteries. However, emerging literature suggests that not all filling defects in the pulmonary arteries are the result of embolism, and that in situ pulmonary arterial thrombus (ISPAT) or low-flow stasis artifact (LFSA) within the pulmonary arteries can mimic acute PE. The proposed mechanism for ISPAT is chronic stasis due to abnormal perfusion in areas of parenchymal lung disease leading to in situ thrombosis.

ObjectiveType 1 myocardial infarction (T1MI) is primarily caused by the formation of coronary thrombi, which leads to acute myocardial ischemia and hypoxia and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, the effects of thrombus-derived exosomes (TEs) on endothelial cell function remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction between lncRNA LOC101928697, which is enriched in TEs, and FUS proteins, as well as their impact on endothelial cell function.

Background: Whereas antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is best known for increasing the risk of macrovascular thrombosis, APS vasculopathy is characterized by the abnormal proliferation of endothelial and smooth muscle cells, leading to occlusion of small blood vessels in the skin, kidneys, and heart, among other organs. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear, and targeted treatment options for patients with APS are lacking.
Methods: To identify and analyze APS microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs), skin biopsies of patients with APS complicated by livedo racemosa were characterized using single-cell RNA sequencing.
Ultrasound-actuated platelet mimetic nanomotors enable targeted piezocatalytic ROS storm for precision thrombolysis.

Thrombotic diseases pose life-threatening risks, yet current thrombolytic therapies face limitations including poor targeting and bleeding risks. To address this, ultrasound-activatable nanomotors (hBT-Pt@Pm) were developed through the integration of hollow BaTiO₃/Pt Schottky heterojunctions with platelet membrane (Pm) coatings. The hollow structure enhances piezocatalytic efficiency by shortening charge migration distances, while Pt deposition improves carrier separation, collectively boosting reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under ultrasound.
