Among patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk for stroke and bleeding, left atrial appendage closure was not noninferior to medical therapy in reducing the risk of stroke, embolism, major bleeding, or death at 3 years.

#ResearchTuesday: Pooled data from six large-core thrombectomy trials show substantial benefit of EVT despite increased risks of hemorrhage and surgical rescue #SkimwithSVIN @AmolMehtaMD @mdgoels @AshuPJadhav 🔗 zurl.co/ZyY2D

This. Is. So. Cool.

A 7-year-old boy was brought to a hospital with a 3-month history of cognitive deterioration and seizures. He had contracted measles at 7 months of age while living in an area where the infection is endemic.

Lowering BP excessively (SBP <140) after thrombectomy worsens outcome. This effect is even more pronounced when ischemic leukopathy is present, likely due to impaired autoregulation. ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

The new AHA acute stroke guidelines are out. These reflect comprehensive available evidence in acute ischemic stroke including systems of care, use of TNK, EVT eligibility, antithrombotic use, pediatric stroke, and management of cytotoxic brain edema. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ST…

In an individual participant data meta-analysis of RCTs, acute carotid stenting during EVT was associated with better functional outcomes than delayed carotid stenting, and prior IVT treatment did not modify this. #stroke ahajrnls.org/49KE2LU

Large core EVT decision making can be challenging for patients and families. Grateful to @ShashvatDesai @AshuPJadhav @mdgoels and Scott brown with their help in developing a visual aid to hopefully make these decisions a bit easier.

The TRIMIS trial presented at WSC showed a benefit in patients with NIHSS 0-5 and a proximal LVO (M1 and ICA). One in five patients treated medically deteriorated and required rescue EVT. #EVTFORALLELVO @NAsdaghi @almuftifawaz @eytanraz
