Article Abstract

Background: Asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (aICH) is common after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). Collateral circulation could modify the association between aICH with functional outcome and we aimed to investigate the impact of systemic inflammation index on 3-month outcome under different collateral circulation.

Method: Consecutive patients undertaken EVT were enrolled and classified into non-intracranial hemorrhage (non-ICH), aICH and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) groups according to the neurological status and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) changes within 72 hours after EVT. Preoperative collateral status was scored using the American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology (ASITN/SIR) scale. Clinical data were collected and analyzed according to the stratification of collateral stratification. Multivariate regression models were constructed to evaluate the influence of systemic inflammation indexes and collateral status on functional outcome.

Results: Of 302 patients, 86 (28.5%) developed aICH with 36(11.9%) sICH. Compared to non-ICH patients, there was a significant trend towards higher proportion of poor collateral circulation in patients with aICH, sICH (47.8% vs. 67.2% vs. 94.4%, p <0.001). Spearman's correlation analysis revealed a significant negative correlation of peripheral neutrophil counts, NLR, and SIRI with collateral circulation score. Under poor collateral circulation, neutrophil counts showed a significant positive association with sICH (OR 1.20, 95%CI: 1.07-1.35, p=0.002), but not with aICH. Under good collateral circulation, the inflammation indexes did not show a significant correlation with either ICH.

Conclusion: aICH patients with good collateral circulation have good functional outcome comparable to no-ICH patients. Under poor collateral circulation, elevated neutrophil counts may contribute to the conversion from aICH to sICH. Tailored anti-inflammatory therapy has potential to improve the efficacy and safety of EVT.

Purpose: We retrospectively analyzed the effect of coil type on the number of coils used and the procedure time in pre-Fontan coil embolization of collateral arteries.

Material And Methods: Twelve patients with congenital heart disease underwent coil embolization before Fontan surgery between 2010 and 2021. They were divided into 2 groups.

Background: Collateral circulation influences clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion (LVO). While both arterial and venous collateral assessments on single-phase computed tomography angiography (CTA) have prognostic value, they have traditionally been evaluated independently.

Purpose: We developed the CTA Collateral Impairment Score (CCIS), a composite measure incorporating arterial (Tan) and venous (Cortical Venous Opacification Score (COVES)) scores, and investigated its association with 90-day functional outcomes.

Background: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), a common complication following stroke, significantly impacts patients' quality of life and prognosis. Research indicates that neuroregulation and protein metabolic disorders play crucial roles in the development of PSCI.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of the Regional Meningoarterial Score (rLMC) in determining collateral circulation status in acute ischaemic stroke patients.

The Arc of Buhler (AOB) is a rare embryological vascular remnant that forms a persistent arterial connection between the superior mesenteric artery and the celiac artery. Although typically asymptomatic, it assumes clinical importance in the presence of celiac artery stenosis by serving as a key collateral route. Aneurysms arising from the AOB are uncommon but carry a significant risk of rupture.

Background: There is a lack of data to predict futile recanalization (FR) after endovascular treatment (EVT) in acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (ACLVO) with large core infarction.

Methods: This analysis included patients from a national multicenter stroke registry (November 2021 to February 2023). Patients who achieved successful recanalization (expanded Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [eTICI] score ≥2b) after EVT were categorized into two groups: meaningful recanalization (MR; 90-day modified Rankin scale [mRS] 0-3) and FR (mRS 4-6).
