For non-US centers, this is a very informative post-hoc analysis of the Annexa-I trial of andexanet alfa for Xa inhibitor associated #ICH.
Predictors of ICH growth:
1. Earlier onset-to-CT times
2. Larger ICH volume (<6 hrs from onset)
3. Elevated DBP
Higher ICH growth velocity (>11 ml/hr) was associated with a whopping 60% risk of hematoma growth, and showed the greatest effect size w/ Andexxa (NNT of 4, an absolute 25% risk reduction)
#CodeICH keeps rolling!

Every once in a while you read something in the scientific literature which is really interesting and compelling…
Jeff Saver at @UCLAHealth has done that with a very interesting argument to standardize what we mean by “large core infarction”
I love the following:
1. Single author viewpoint. We need more of this. The collective gang banger “too big to fail” publication with 100+ authors is tired. Nice to hear an original voice
2. Original ideas coming from deep expertise — Jeff has recognized a disconnect among myriad definitions of “large core” and wants to help progress in research. Standardized terminology makes sense.
3. The math wonkiness! He proposes 75 ml as the definition of large core. All of the other subdivisions are based on intervals of 25 or 50. Round numbers!
4. Jeff dismisses the ASPECT score a bit, claiming that it is too semi-qualitative. The scores are already driven by radiomics on RAPID or VIZ. ASPECTS is awesome, but we all know that it will soon be automated.
5. As neurointensivists — let’s figure out the core volume threshold for hemicraniectomy watch. Game on!

وفيه لقطات تحتاج تدقيق اكثر وبتخلي الرقم اعلى .
بس ارتيتا يعتمد على الكرات الثابتة ☹️
Great pleasure to have Dr. Savastano for the Dooner Legacy Annual Lecture about endovascular management for subdural hematoma at the 10th annual Mercy health Stroke and NeuroEmergency symposium.
Great presentation with groundbreaking work

Pathophysiology of chronic subdural hematoma—new insights - Misa Trieu, Ajith J. Thomas, 2026 https://t.co/FyLrfS59Ik
We’ve gained new insights into Chronic Subdural Hematoma (cSDH) over the last decade. It’s no longer just about the initial injury—it's a cycle of inflammation and VEGF-driven neovascularization. Our new paper synthesizes this shift.
Prediction: We will move from embolization to targeted molecular therapies.
