Background Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) is a common and severe complication in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after treatment with thrombectomy. Objective To explore the ability of admission plasma D-dimer levels to predict sICH after thrombectomy. Methods Between February 2018 and August 2021, consecutive patients with AIS who underwent thrombectomy at our single comprehensive stroke center were retrospectively enrolled. sICH was defined according to the criterion of the Heidelberg Bleeding Classification. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors of sICH. The overall discriminative ability of D-dimer levels in predicting sICH was evaluated by adopting a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. results Of the 395 enrolled patients, 48 (12.2%) had sICH. Patients with sICH were older (72.9 vs 69.3 years, P=0.037), more often female (62.5% vs 45.5%, P=0.027), had higher D-dimer levels (2.70 vs 0.74 mg/L, P<0.00l), higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (20 vs 15, P<0.001), lower Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (8 vs 9, P<0.001), a higher proportion of internal carotid artery occlusions (56.2% vs 30.3%, P<0.001), and less commonly had large- artery atherosclerosis stroke etiology (12.5% vs 32.3%, P=0.010) than patients without sICH. After adjustment for potential confounders, D-dimer levels (adjusted OR=2.45, 95% CI 1.75 to 3.43, P<0.001) remained significantly associated with sICH. Based on the ROC, the D-dimer as a predictor for predicting sICH, presented with a specificity of 86.2%, a negative predictive value of 94.6%, and an area under the curve of 0.774. Conclusion Elevated admission D-dimer levels are an independent predictor of sICH in patients with AIS after thrombectomy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background The use of traditional endovascular techniques for aneurysms that are difficult to catheterize is challenging. We present our experience of using micro-guidewire electrocoagulation for the treatment of aneurysms that were inaccessible by a microcatheter. Methods Seven consecutive patients who underwent endovascular electrocoagulation for the treatment of aneurysms between January 2020 and May 2022 were retrospectively included. Patient demographics, treatment procedures, and follow-up outcomes were assessed. A review of the literature was also performed. Results All of the seven treated aneurysms were ruptured, and micro-guidewire electrocoagulation was only conducted if the microcatheter could not advance into the aneurysm or parent artery. After electrocoagulation for 1-4 min, all seven aneurysms disappeared on contrast angiography. Parent artery occlusion was observed in six cases, and post-procedure infarctions of the operating region were identified in three patients. The 3-month follow-up modified Rankin Scale score was 0 in all except one patient. Follow-up angiography was available in six patients, and complete obliteration of the aneurysm was observed in all of them. With a mean follow-up time of 13.6 months, there was no rebleeding in any of the cases. To date, there are only eight published cases of aneurysms treated using micro-guidewire electrocoagulation, and seven of them achieved total occlusion of the aneurysm without neurological deficits. Conclusions Endovascular electrocoagulation is practicable and effective for the treatment of aneurysms that are inaccessible by a microcatheter during short-term observation. Studies on larger populations are needed to further confirm the safety and long-term outcomes for this technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background The Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) and collateral score (CS) are two readily available imaging metrics for the evaluation of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO). Objective To investigate the predictive value of the ASPECTS combined with CS in detecting patients with CT perfusion (CTP) target mismatch in delayed time windows. Methods One hundred and sixty-four patients with LVO-AIS were included. ASPECTS was assessed on noncontrast CT (NCCT). CS was evaluated on single-phase CT angiography (sCTA). Target mismatch was defined as a CTP core volume ≤70 mL, mismatch ratio ≥1.8, and absolute mismatch volume ≥15 mL. Spearman correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed. Results The median NCCT ASPECTS of the 164 patients was 8 (IQR 6-9), median sCTA-CS was 2 (IQR 1-2), and median CTP core volume was 8 mL (IQR 0-29.5). There was a strong correlation between NCCT ASPECTS and CTP core volume (r
s =-0.756, p<0.0001) and a moderate correlation between the sCTA-CS and CTP core volume (rs =-0.450, p<0.0001). Integrating NCCT ASPECTS and sCTA-CS provided a higher area under the curve (AUC) for predicting target mismatch (AUC=0.882; sensitivity, 89.1%; specificity, 77.8%; p<0.001). Conclusions NCCT ASPECTS had a strong correlation with CTP core volumes in patients with LVO-AIS in delayed time windows. Combining NCCT ASPECTS with sCTA-CS resulted in a more accurate prediction of target mismatch. If a CTP scan is not available, NCCT ASPECTS combined with sCTA-CS may guide clinicians in making treatment decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) parameters have been shown to have predictive value for functional outcomes of patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO). We report the predictive value of CTP-based software (CTP-Rapid Processing of Perfusion and Diffusion (RAPID); iSchemia View) for functional outcomes of patients with BAO after endovascular therapy (EVT). Methods Patients with BAO who underwent EVT were retrospectively analyzed in our center from December 2019 to July 2021. Baseline characteristics and imaging parameters from non-contrast CT, CT angiography (CTA), and CTP-RAPID were collected for analysis. Results Among the 55 patients enrolled in this study, 22 (40.0%) achieved a good functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score ≤3 at 90 days). In the univariate analysis, posterior circulation Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, Basilar Artery on CT Angiography score, posterior circulation CTA score, posterior communicating artery deficiency, perfusion deficit volume in time to maximum (Tmax) >4 s, Tmax >6 s, and mismatch volume were associated with functional outcomes (all p<0.05). In the multivariate analysis, perfusion deficit volume in Tmax >6 s (OR 1.011 (95% CI 1.001 to 1.020)) and posterior circulation CTA score (OR 0.435 (95% CI 0.225 to 0.840)) remained independent outcome predictors (all p<0.05). Conclusions Perfusion deficit volume in Tmax >6 s on CTP-RAPID imaging maps and basilar artery on CTA score have potential as functional outcome predictors in patients with BAO after EVT.

VERTEBRAL artery dissections - Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of an overlapped stenting-assisted coiling technique in treating vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm (VADA) via Low-profile Visualized Intraluminal Support (LVIS) stent-within-Neuroform EZ stent. Methods: From January 2017 to June 2019, 18 consecutive patients with VADAs (ruptured: unruptured=5: 13) were treated with the overlapping stents assisted-coiling technique in our center. The overlapping manner was a Neuroform EZ stent being deployed first, followed by LVIS stents placement using the 'shelf' technique. The patients' clinical characteristics, technical feasibility and safety, and immediate and follow-up angiographic results were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Seventeen (94.4%) procedures were technically successful with an exact deployment of the stents and patent parent or perforator arteries. The immediate angiographies after procedure confirmed Raymond class I, II, and III occlusion of VADAs were in 12 (66.7%), two (11.1%), and four cases (22.2%), respectively. Post-procedural complications developed in one patient (5.6%) with minor brainstem infarctions, which resulted from an in-stent thrombosis during the procedure. Angiographic follow-up at 5.7 months (range 3 to 9 months) demonstrated Raymond class I and II occlusion were in all cases (100%). The modified Rankin Scale scores at 21.3 months (range 15 to 42 months) 0-2 in 17 cases (94.4%) and three in one case (5.6%). Conclusion: Overlapping stents via LVIS stent-within-Neuroform EZ stent combined with coiling is safe and effective for patients with VADA in the midterm results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background To determine the risk factors for intracranial hematoma (ICH) development following ruptured anterior communicating artery (AcomA) aneurysms and to determine prognostic factors associated with unfavorable outcomes after coiling first. Methods From March 2014 to February 2020, 235 patients with ruptured AcomA aneurysms underwent endovascular treatment in our department. The clinical and radiographic conditions were collected retrospectively. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores of ≤ 2 were accepted as favorable outcomes. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed to identify significant factors contributing to the incidence of ICHs and to unfavorable outcomes. Results Of these 235 patients, 68 had additional ICHs. A posterior orientation of ruptured AcomA aneurysms was the independent variable associated with the incidence of ICHs (OR 3.675; p<0.001). Furthermore, having preoperative Hunt--Hess grades IV--V was an independent variable associated with unfavorable outcomes for ICH patients (OR 80.000; p<0.001). Among the 68 patients with ICHs, 40% (27/68) had Hunt--Hess grades IV--V. Four percent of patients (3/68) underwent surgical hematoma evacuation after the coiling procedure and 15% of the patients (10/68) underwent external ventricular drainage. A favorable outcome was achieved in 72% (49/68) of patients with ruptured AcomA aneurysms. The mortality rate was 21% (14/68) at 6 months. Conclusion A posterior orientation of ruptured AcomA aneurysms was associated with the incidence of ICHs. Coiling first with surgical management if necessary seems to be an acceptable treatment for ruptured AcomA aneurysms with ICHs. The clinical outcome was associated with the clinical neurological status on admission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The role of CD40/CD40 ligand (CD40L) in microvascular thrombosis is now widely accepted. However, the exact mechanisms linking the CD40/CD40L system and the soluble form of CD40L (sCD40L) with microvascular thrombosis are currently a topic of intensive research. The objective of this study was to assess the potential mechanisms in CD40/CD40L system-regulated microvascular thrombosis after focal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Methods: Rats were subjected to 60-min transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). The experiments were divided into three groups: sham operation, MCAO, and MCAO + CD40 antagonist. Dynamic changes of serum-free sCD40L levels for 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 12 h by ELISA detecting kit after focal I/R were observed, and the CD40 expression levels in both platelet surface and vascular endothelial cell surface were measured by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence, respectively. Cerebral infarct volume was analyzed 12 h after reperfusion. mTOR/S6K signaling was determined by Western blot. Results: A comparison of thrombus formation between MCAO and CD40 antagonist treatment rats revealed a role for CD40 and/or CD40L in the inflammation-enhanced thrombosis responses in both of the platelet and vascular endothelial cell. MCAO rats yielded an acceleration of thrombus formation that was accompanied by increased CD40 levels in serum. The brain infarction was significantly decreased in CD40 antagonist treatment group compared to MCAO model group. The mTOR/S6K signaling was activated in MACO model than that of CD40 antagonist treatment group. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that CD40/CD40L system contributes to microvascular thrombosis and brain infarction induced by MCAO and reperfusion. The mTOR/S6K signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of cerebral microvasculature after focal I/R by CD40/ CD40L.

Problem with embolization of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) with liquid embolic agent is its over-penetration into the veins or regurgitation to the proximal feeder without reaching the shunt point. We present a technique that controls the flow of AVF during embolization. Two microcatheter technique consists of positioning one microcatheter close to the AVF for embolization, and with another microcatheter at the proximal feeding artery to control the AVF flow by coiling. Selective angiograms obtained using a distally positioned microcatheter before and after coiling, were compared how much stagnant effect was achieved. Using two microcatheter technique, AVF occlusion was achieved with good penetration of glue to the venous side of the AVF. Its advantage is the ability to push glue into the shunt without causing over-penetration of glue or its reflux along the feeder. Two microcatheter technique was safe and effective in glue embolization of AVF and also expected to be applied with other liquid embolic agent like Onyx. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The interventional neuroradiology (INR, or neurointerventional surgery) became a rapidly emerging specialty since the first Working group in Interventional Neuroradiology (WIN) meeting was held in Santa Barbara in 1980 by 15 pioneers. Although the specialty has been led by neuroradiologists, other specialists of neurosurgery and neurology have become involved. Due to diverse background of the specialties with inadequate requirement of education and training, proper level of training standard and quality assurance may be achieved for outcomes of treated patients with neurovascular diseases. In East Asia, there are less inter-relationship of education and training among China, Japan and Korea when compared to the learning opportunities in western countries from the three nations. Therefore, we present the current status and difference of medical education system and compare INR training to improve understanding of INR development in the adjacent countries.
