@S_Pesch One needs those trained in "both techniques" in formal radiology and stroke neurology too; we hope your department has them. Does it matter that radiologist Söderman pioneered radiosurgery for AVMs or Moniz performed cerebral angiography? This @ThiemeIntl preface says it well.

In EVT treated M2 occlusion stroke, larger Tmax >4 s perfusion deficit was associated with worse 90-day functional outcomes.

Tmax >4 s volume >113 mL best discriminated outcomes.

Overcoming challenging anatomy to achieve endovascular success, this case demonstrates accessing the posterior cerebral circulation through the thyrocervical trunk. Check it out: https://t.co/rKhmz229Ja

After 1:1 PSM (748 patients in each group) and adjustment for age, baseline disability, and vascular risk factors, biological sex was not independently associated with functional or safety outcomes following mechanical thrombectomy for DMVO stroke.

[Francis Deng, MD @francisdeng]

A ‘never event’: wrong side cerebral angiogram

Pt had R MCA occlusion. Thrombectomy planned. In angio, got a LICA injection, clot absent, assumed due to thrombolytics, procedure ended. Error discovered, pt returned to angio at delay for R thrombectomy.

@AdamDmytriw @INR_WFITN There are thousands more cases in the TFA group, which speaks to how many years of inferior closure devices and techniques that good modern practice will need to dilute for proper signal.

"Compared with conventional guide catheters, the use of balloon guide catheters led to worse functional recovery in patients receiving endovascular thrombectomy for intracranial large vessel occlusion."
Has been a long time coming; there was a lot of unfounded dogma to surmount.

One of the 🔑 to DMVO is selection and deficit. Check out what MAD-MT brings to the isolated the PCA occlusion literature 👀

Is EVT better than MM for treating isolated PCA #strokes? 🤔Find out in our latest study published in the European Stroke Journal.

MCA bifurcation aneurysms can be readily clipped and endovascular treatment is controversial. Our #WorldWideWEB study suggests aneurysms ≤ 6.1 mm in width and ≤ 4.6 mm in neck size are well-suited to WEB treatment. @NimerAdeeb @AdamDmytriw https://t.co/sv85AwBSbG

Is it time for a CT-first approach to intracardiac thrombus detection? CCT has markedly improved in the last 10 years, and @SheriefGhozy @HassKobeissi @AliMortezaei97 @AdamDmytriw offer the best evidence thus far for a paradigm shift. https://t.co/yCZ8cJwVxR
