Article Abstract
Angiogenesis in the ischemic penumbra compensates for microcirculatory dysfunction and promotes neuronal plasticity after stroke. However, the current understanding may be highly biased because the contribution of veins to angiogenesis has been overlooked. This study revealed that the remodeling processes of veins differ from those of arteries after ischemia. Ligation of the right jugular vein increased the infarct volume, decreased cerebral blood flow and impaired long-term functional restoration after stroke. RNA-seq analysis revealed significant upregulation of the expression of genes associated with angiogenesis in the infarct core during the recovery period. By using gelatin ink-alkaline phosphatase-oil red O (GIAO) staining, we found that venogenesis, the process of creating new veins, was the predominant angiogenic event in the infarct core. Macrophage infiltration and transformation are closely associated with venogenesis in the infarct core. However, depletion of macrophages in the circulation by clodronate liposomes in the acute phase inhibited the proliferation of endothelial progenitor cells and decreased the vascular density in the infarct core. This study demonstrated that dynamic vein remodeling is crucial for cerebral ischemic damage and subsequent neuronal restoration. Angiogenesis occurs in the infarct core during the recovery period, promotes the absorption of necrotic tissue and facilitates functional recovery after stroke.

Reperfusion therapy, the restoration of blood flow following a myocardial infarction (MI), is one of the most effective treatment strategies. Unlike early reperfusion therapy, differences in infarct size or collagen content have not been reported in late reperfusion therapy. To evaluate the spatial-temporal effects of late reperfusion therapy, we conducted multimodal imaging of histologic sections of rat myocardium following permanent coronary artery occlusion or three hours of occlusion.

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).

Background: The ESCAPE-MeVO (Endovascular Treatment to Improve Outcomes for Medium Vessel Occlusions) and DISTAL (Endovascular Therapy plus Best Medical Treatment vs Best Medical Treatment Alone for Medium Vessel Occlusion Stroke) trials failed to demonstrate the superiority of endovascular thrombectomy over best medical management for medium and small vessel occlusions. Potential limitations of these trials include older patient populations, lower presenting National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, higher rates of premorbid disability, delayed revascularization times, inclusion of both medium and small vessel occlusions, and widespread use of stent retrievers. Here we present M2 occlusion data from the Imperative Trial, evaluating aspiration thrombectomy with the Zoom System.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the changes of peripheral carotid fat density (PFD), the occurrence of acute cerebral ischemia events and the characteristics of different dangerous plaques.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on patients diagnosed with carotid plaque by head and neck CTA in the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University from January 2021 to March 2023. All patients received head magnetic plain scan, DWI and high resolution vascular wall imaging (MR HR-VWI).

The role of different imaging modalities-non-contrast CT (NCCT), CT perfusion (CTP), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)-in selecting patients with large-core stroke for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a subject of ongoing debate. This study aims to determine whether patients with large-core acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing EVT triaged with CTP or DWI in addition to NCCT had different clinical outcomes compared to those only triaged with NCCT. We queried the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR) for patients enrolled between 2014 and 2023 who presented with anterior-circulation AIS and large ischemic core (ASPECTS < 6) who underwent EVT in 41 stroke centers in the USA, Europe, Asia, and South America.
