RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Whether thrombectomy alone is equally as effective as intravenous alteplase plus thrombectomy remains controversial. We aimed to determine whether thrombectomy alone would be non-inferior to intravenous alteplase plus thrombectomy in patients presenting with acute ischaemic stroke. METHODS: In this multicentre, randomised, open-label, blinded-outcome trial in Europe and Canada, we recruited patients with stroke due to large vessel occlusion confirmed with CT or magnetic resonance angiography admitted to endovascular centres. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) via a centralised web server using a deterministic minimisation method to receive stent-retriever thrombectomy alone or intravenous alteplase plus stent-retriever thrombectomy. In both groups, thrombectomy was initiated as fast as possible with any commercially available Solitaire stent-retriever revascularisation device (Medtronic, Irvine, CA, USA). In the combined treatment group, intravenous alteplase (0·9 mg/kg bodyweight, maximum dose 90 mg per patient) was administered as early as possible after randomisation for 60 min with 10% of the calculated dose given as an initial bolus. Personnel assessing the primary outcome were masked to group allocation; patients and treating physicians were not. The primary binary outcome was a score of 2 or less on the modified Rankin scale at 90 days. We assessed the non-inferiority of thrombectomy alone versus intravenous alteplase plus thrombectomy in all randomly assigned and consenting patients using the one-sided lower 95% confidence limit of the Mantel-Haenszel risk difference, with a prespecified non-inferiority margin of 12%. The main safety endpoint was symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage assessed in all randomly assigned and consenting participants. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03192332, and is closed to new participants. FINDINGS: Between Nov 29, 2017, and May 7, 2021, 5215 patients were screened and 423 were randomly assigned, of whom 408 (201 thrombectomy alone, 207 intravenous alteplase plus thrombectomy) were included in the primary efficacy analysis. A modified Rankin scale score of 0-2 at 90 days was reached by 114 (57%) of 201 patients assigned to thrombectomy alone and 135 (65%) of 207 patients assigned to intravenous alteplase plus thrombectomy (adjusted risk difference -7·3%, 95% CI -16·6 to 2·1, lower limit of one-sided 95% CI -15·1%, crossing the non-inferiority margin of -12%). Symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage occurred in five (2%) of 201 patients undergoing thrombectomy alone and seven (3%) of 202 patients receiving intravenous alteplase plus thrombectomy (risk difference -1·0%, 95% CI -4·8 to 2·7). Successful reperfusion was less common in patients assigned to thrombectomy alone (182 [91%] of 201 vs 199 [96%] of 207, risk difference -5·1%, 95% CI -10·2 to 0·0, p=0·047). INTERPRETATION: Thrombectomy alone was not shown to be non-inferior to intravenous alteplase plus thrombectomy and resulted in decreased reperfusion rates. These results do not support omitting intravenous alteplase before thrombectomy in eligible patients. FUNDING: Medtronic and University Hospital Bern.

RESUMO

Background A target mismatch profile can identify good clinical response to recanalization after acute ischemic stroke, but does not consider region specificities. Purpose To test whether location-weighted infarction core and mismatch, determined from diffusion and perfusion MRI performed in patients with acute stroke, could improve prediction of good clinical response to mechanical thrombectomy compared with a target mismatch profile. Materials and Methods In this secondary analysis, two prospectively collected independent stroke data sets (2012-2015 and 2017-2019) were analyzed. From the brain before stroke (BBS) study data (data set 1), an eloquent map was computed through voxel-wise associations between the infarction core (based on diffusion MRI on days 1-3 following stroke) and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score. The French acute multimodal imaging to select patients for mechanical thrombectomy (FRAME) data (data set 2) consisted of large vessel occlusion-related acute ischemic stroke successfully recanalized. From acute MRI studies (performed on arrival, prior to thrombectomy) in data set 2, target mismatch and eloquent (vs noneloquent) infarction core and mismatch were computed from the intersection of diffusion- and perfusion-detected lesions with the coregistered eloquent map. Associations of these imaging metrics with early neurologic improvement were tested in multivariable regression models, and areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs) were compared. Results Data sets 1 and 2 included 321 (median age, 69 years [IQR, 58-80 years]; 207 men) and 173 (median age, 74 years [IQR, 65-82 years]; 90 women) patients, respectively. Eloquent mismatch was positively and independently associated with good clinical response (odds ratio [OR], 1.14; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.27; P = .02) and eloquent infarction core was negatively associated with good response (OR, 0.85; 95% CI: 0.77, 0.95; P = .004), while noneloquent mismatch was not associated with good response (OR, 1.03; 95% CI: 0.98, 1.07; P = .20). Moreover, adding eloquent metrics improved the prediction accuracy (AUC, 0.73; 95% CI: 0.65, 0.81) compared with clinical variables alone (AUC, 0.65; 95% CI: 0.56, 0.73; P = .01) or a target mismatch profile (AUC, 0.67; 95% CI: 0.59, 0.76; P = .03). Conclusion Location-weighted infarction core and mismatch on diffusion and perfusion MRI scans improved the identification of patients with acute stroke who would benefit from mechanical thrombectomy compared with the volume-based target mismatch profile.

RESUMO

Endothelium protection is critical, because of the impact of vascular leakage and edema on pathological conditions such as brain ischemia. Whereas deficiency of class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase alpha (PI3KC2α) results in an increase in vascular permeability, we uncover a crucial role of the beta isoform (PI3KC2ß) in the loss of endothelial barrier integrity following injury. Here, we studied the role of PI3KC2ß in endothelial permeability and endosomal trafficking in vitro and in vivo in ischemic stroke. Mice with inactive PI3KC2ß showed protection against vascular permeability, edema, cerebral infarction, and deleterious inflammatory response. Loss of PI3KC2ß in human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells stabilized homotypic cell-cell junctions by increasing Rab11-dependent VE-cadherin recycling. These results identify PI3KC2ß as a potential new therapeutic target to prevent aggravating lesions following ischemic stroke.

RESUMO

Besides their proteome, platelets use, in all responses to the environmental cues, a huge and diverse family of hydrophobic and amphipathic small molecules involved in structural, metabolic and signaling functions; the lipids. Studying how platelet lipidome changes modulate platelet function is an old story constantly renewed through the impressive technical advances allowing the discovery of new lipids, functions and metabolic pathways. Technical progress in analytical lipidomic profiling by top-of-the-line approaches such as nuclear magnetic resonance and gas chromatography or liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry enables either large-scale analysis of lipids or targeted lipidomics. With the support of bioinformatics tools and databases, it is now possible to investigate thousands of lipids over a concentration range of several orders of magnitude. The lipidomic landscape of platelets is considered a treasure trove, not only able to expand our knowledge of platelet biology and pathologies but also to bring diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities. The aim of this commentary article is to summarize the advances in the field and to highlight what lipidomics can tell us about platelet biology and pathophysiology.


What is the context? Lipids are a huge and diverse family of molecules strongly involved in biological membranes organization and dynamics, signal transduction, cell metabolism and intercellular communication.Earlier seminal works using conventional lipid biochemistry methods have shown the essential role of certain classes of lipids in platelet biology and platelet-related pathologiesWhat is new? The important development of modern lipidomic analyses using mass-spectrometry now provides opportunities to investigate the entire platelet lipidome in different conditions.The application of lipidomic approaches to analyze large-scale lipid species allows platelet clinical lipidomics development.What is the impact? Study of the lipidomic landscape of platelets will expand our knowledge of platelet biology and should bring new diagnosis and therapeutic opportunities.Evaluating the functional and clinical significance of the data generated by modern platelet lipidomics appears as a vast and exciting challenge.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare the performance of coronal contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (ceT1-w) and T2-weighted (T2-w) sequences for diagnosing progression during the MRI follow-up of Non-Functioning Pituitary MacroAdenomas (NFPMAs). PATIENTS AND METHODS: 106 patients, who had at least two MRIs for the follow-up of NFPMA, were enrolled retrospectively. The largest adenoma diameter was measured on coronal ceT1-w sequences and separately on T2-w sequences for all follow-up MRIs. Interobserver variability was also assessed by 2 independent neuroradiologists in a sample series of 100 examinations. Progression was defined by an increase ≥ 2 mm in diameter between 2 MRIs. Progression thresholds of 3 and 4 mm were also tested. The results of ceT1-w and T2-w sequences were analysed for concordance. RESULTS: 93.1% concordance was achieved between ceT1-w and T2-w coronal sequences in 580 follow-up MRIs. In the case of progression detected on at least one sequence, 64.4% concordance was documented for a 2-mm threshold, 87.7% for 3-mm and 97.1% for 4-mm. Discordance was mainly observed on the first postoperative MRI and in case of NFPMAs with multiple recurrences. Kappa was better for diagnosing progression on T2-w than on ceT1-w sequences (0.67 vs. 0.54). It should be noted that 100% agreement was observed between the 2 sequences in the 82 follow-up MRIs of patients with complete surgical resection. CONCLUSION: 93.1% concordance was achieved for coronal ceT1-w and T2-w sequences during the MRI follow-up of NFPMAs, thus challenging systematic injection of gadolinium. If MRI without gadolinium injection is a first-line option, our results suggest that ceT1-w sequences should be reserved for the first postoperative MRI and for the follow-up of aggressive and recurrent NFPMAs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND & PURPOSE: Carotid Web (CaW) is a growingly recognized cause of ischemic stroke, associated with a high recurrence risk. Several therapeutic strategies have been proposed as a tertiary prevention including carotid stenting, endarterectomy and antithrombotic medications. Among these, carotid stenting with dual-layer stent may be promising to adequately cover the focal arterial dysplasia. Our aim was to investigate the safety and efficacy of the Casper stent in the treatment of symptomatic CaW. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients presenting with a symptomatic CaW and included in the ongoing prospective observational multicenter CAROWEB registry. The study period was January 2015 to December 2021. Inclusion criteria were CaW treated with dual-layer Casper stent. Patients treated with other types of carotid stent, endarterectomy or antithrombotic medication were excluded. Clinical and radiological initial data and outcomes were recorded. RESULTS: twenty-seven patients (with 28 caw) were included. median age was 52 (iqr: 46-68). median delay between index cerebrovascular event and cervical stenting was 9 days (IQR: 6-101). In all cases, the cervical carotid stenting was successfully performed. No major perioperative complication was recorded. No recurrent stroke or transient ischemic attack was observed during a median follow-up time of 272 days (IQR: 114-635). Long-term imaging follow-up was available in 25/28 (89.3%) stented CaW with a median imaging follow-up of 183 days (IQR: 107-676; range: 90-1542). No in-stent occlusion or stenosis was detected. CONCLUSION: In this study, carotid stenting with dual-layer Casper stent in the treatment of symptomatic CaW was effective regarding stroke recurrence prevention and safe, without procedural nor delayed detected adverse event. However, the optimal therapeutic approach of symptomatic CaW still needs to be explored through randomized trials.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is not recommended for acute stroke with large vessel occlusion (LVO) and a large volume of irreversibly injured tissue ("core"). Perfusion imaging may identify a subset of patients with large core who benefit from MT. METHODS: We compared two cohorts of LVO-related patients with large core (>50 ml on diffusion-weighted-imaging or CT-perfusion using RAPID), available perfusion imaging, and treated within 6 hours from onset by either MT + Best Medical Management (BMM) in one prospective study, or BMM alone in the pre-MT era from a prospective registry. Primary outcome was 90-day modified Rankin Scale ≤2. We searched for an interaction between treatment group and amount of penumbra as estimated by the mismatch ratio (MMRatio = critical hypoperfusion/core volume). RESULTS: Overall, 107 patients were included (56 MT + BMM and 51 BMM): Mean age was 68 ± 15 years, median core volume 99 ml (IQR: 72-131) and MMRatio 1.4 (IQR: 1.0-1.9). Baseline clinical and radiological variables were similar between the two groups, except for a higher intravenous thrombolysis rate in the BMM group. The MMRatio strongly modified the clinical outcome following MT (pinteraction < 0.001 for continuous MMRatio); MT was associated with a higher rate of good outcome in patients with, but not in those without, MMRatio>1.2 (adjusted OR [95% CI] = 6.8 [1.7-27.0] vs 0.7 [0.1-6.2], respectively). Similar findings were present for MMRatio ≥1.8 in the subgroup with core ≥70 ml. Parenchymal hemorrhage on follow-up imaging was more frequent in the MT + BMM group regardless of the MMRatio. INTERPRETATION: Perfusion imaging may help select which patients with large core should be considered for MT. Randomized studies are warranted. ANN NEUROL 2021;90:417-427.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Leptomeningeal enhancement (LME) is a key feature of Susac syndrome (SuS) but is only occasionally depicted on post-contrast T1-weighted images (T1-WI). OBJECTIVE: As post-contrast fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) may be more sensitive, our aim was to assess LME in SuS on this sequence. METHODS: From 2010 to 2020, 20 patients with definite SuS diagnosis were retrospectively enrolled in this multicentre study. Two radiologists independently assessed the number of LME on post-contrast FLAIR and T1-WI acquisitions performed before any treatment. A chi-square test was used to compare both sequences and the interrater agreement was calculated. RESULTS: Thirty-five magnetic resonance imagings (MRIs) were performed before treatment, including 19 post-contrast FLAIR images in 17 patients and 25 post-contrast T1-WI in 19 patients. In terms of patients, LME was observed on all post-contrast FLAIR, contrary to post-contrast T1-WI (17/17 (100%) vs. 15/19 (79%), p < 0.05). In terms of sequences, LME was observed on all post-contrast FLAIR, contrary to post-contrast T1-WI (19/19 (100%) vs. 16/25 (64%), p < 0.005). LME was disseminated at both supratentorial (19/19) and infratentorial (18/19) levels on post-contrast FLAIR, contrary to post-contrast T1-WI (3/25 and 9/25, respectively). Interrater agreement was excellent for post-contrast FLAIR (κ = 0.95) but only moderate for post-contrast T1-WI (κ = 0.61). CONCLUSION: LME was always observed and easily visible on post-contrast FLAIR images prior to SuS treatment. In association with other MRI features, it is highly indicative of SuS.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Despite a high variability, the hotspot method is widely used to calculate the cerebral blood volume (CBV) of glioblastomas on DSC-MRI. Our aim was to investigate inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of parameters calculated with the hotspot or a volume method and that of an original parameter assessing the fraction of pixels in the tumour volume displaying rCBV > 2: %rCBV > 2. METHODS: Twenty-seven consecutive patients with untreated glioblastoma (age: 63, women: 11) were retrospectively included. Three observers calculated the maximum tumour CBV value (rCBVmax) normalized with a reference ROI in the contralateral white matter (CBVWM) with (i) the hotspot method and (ii) with a volume method following tumour segmentation on 3D contrast-enhanced T1-WI. From this volume method, %rCBV > 2 was also assessed. After 8-12 weeks, one observer repeated all delineations. Intraclass (ICC) and Lin's (LCC) correlation coefficients were used to determine reproducibility. RESULTS: Inter-observer reproducibility of rCBVmax was fair with the hotspot and good with the volume method (ICC = 0.46 vs 0.65, p > 0.05). For CBVWM, it was fair with the hotspot and excellent with the volume method (0.53 vs 0.84, p < 0.05). Reproducibility of one pairwise combination of observers was significantly better for both rCBVmax and CBVWM (LCC = 0.33 vs 0.75; 0.52 vs 0.89, p < 0.05). %rCBV > 2 showed excellent inter- and intra-observer reproducibility (ICC = 0.94 and 0.91). CONCLUSION: Calculated in glioblastomas with a volume method, rCBVmax and CBVWM yielded good to excellent reproducibility but only fair with the hotspot method. Overall, the volume analysis offers a highly reproducible parameter, %rCBV > 2, that could be promising during the follow-up of such heterogeneous tumours.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Head and neck paragangliomas are extradural masses rarely associated with subarachnoid haemorrhage. CASE: This case, for the first time, reports a fatal subarachnoid haemorrhage due to the rupture of a high-flow aneurysm located on an intradural artery feeding a jugulotympanic paraganglioma. Interestingly, this aneurysm was not present on an angiogram performed 7 years before, during the pre-surgical embolisation of the tumour. CONCLUSIONS: To avoid fatal consequences, a preventive investigation of potential aneurysms located on intradural vessels feeding paragangliomas may be suggested.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Determining the mechanism of large vessel occlusion related acute ischemic stroke is of major importance to initiate a tailored secondary prevention strategy. We investigated using the atherosclerosis, small vessel disease, cardiac source, other cause, dissection (ASCOD) classification the distribution of the causes of large vessel occlusion related acute ischemic stroke treated by mechanical thrombectomy. METHODS: This was a predefined substudy of the FRAME (French Acute Multimodal Imaging to Select Patient for Mechanical Thrombectomy). Each patient underwent a systematic etiological workup including brain and vascular imaging, electrocardiogram monitoring lasting at least 24 hours and routine blood tests. Stroke mechanisms were systematically evaluated using the atherosclerosis, small vessel disease, cardiac source, other cause, dissection grading system at 3 months. We defined single potential cause by one cause graded 1 in a single domain, possible cause as a cause graded 1 or 2 regardless of overlap, and no identified cause without grade 1 nor 2 causes. RESULTS: A total of 215 patients (mean age 70±14; 50% male) were included. A single potential cause was identified in 148 (69%). Cardio-embolism (53%) was the most frequent, followed by atherosclerosis (9%), dissection (5%) and other causes (1%). Atrial fibrillation accounted for 88% of C1. Overlap between grade 1 causes was uncommon (3%). Possible causes were identified in 168 patients (83%) and 16 (7%) had no cause identified after the initial evaluation. CONCLUSIONS: Cardio-embolism, especially atrial fibrillation, was the major cause of large vessel occlusion related acute ischemic stroke. This finding emphasizes the yield of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation detection in those patients. Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT03045146.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the recommended treatment for acute ischemic stroke caused by anterior circulation large vessel occlusion. However, despite a high rate of reperfusion, the clinical response to successful MT remains highly variable in the early time window where optimal imaging selection criteria have not been established. We hypothesize that the baseline perfusion imaging profile may help forecast the clinical response to MT in this setting. METHODS: We conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study of patients with large vessel occlusion-related acute ischemic stroke treated by MT within 6 hours. Treatment decisions and the modified Rankin Scale evaluation at 3 months were performed blinded to the results of baseline perfusion imaging. Study groups were defined a posteriori based on predefined imaging profiles: target mismatch (TMM; core volume <70 mL/mismatch ratio >1.2 and mismatch volume >10 mL) versus no TMM or mismatch (MM; mismatch ratio >1.2 and volume >10 mL) versus no MM. Functional recovery (modified Rankin Scale, 0-2) at 3 months was compared based on imaging profile at baseline and whether reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2bc3) was achieved. RESULTS: Two hundred eighteen patients (mean age, 71±15 years; median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, 17 [interquartile range, 12-21]) were enrolled. Perfusion imaging profiles were 71% TMM and 82% MM. The rate of functional recovery was 54% overall. Both TMM and MM profiles were independently associated with a higher rate on functional recovery at 3 months Adjusted odds ratios were 3.3 (95% CI, 1.4-7.9) for TMM and 5.9 (95% CI, 1.8-19.6) for MM. Reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2bc3) was achieved in 86% and was more frequent in TMM and MM patients. Reperfusion was associated with a higher rate of functional recovery in MM and TMM patients but not among those with no MM. CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort study, about 80% of the patients with a large vessel occlusion-related acute ischemic stroke had evidence of penumbra, regardless of infarction volume. Perfusion imaging profiles predict the clinical response to MT.

RESUMO

Background Despite known limitations, the decision to operate on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is primarily on the basis of measurement of maximal aneurysm diameter. Purpose To identify volumetric and computational fluid dynamics parameters to predict AAAs that are likely to progress in size. Materials and Methods This study, part of a multicenter prospective registry (NCT01599533), included 126 patients with AAA. Patients were sorted into stable (≤10-mL increase in aneurysm volume) and progression (>10-mL increase in aneurysm volume) groups. Initial AAA characteristics of the derivation cohort were analyzed (maximal diameter and surface, thrombus and lumen volumes, maximal wall pressure, and wall shear stress [WSS]) to identify relevant parameters for a logistic regression model. Model and maximal diameter diagnostic performances were assessed in both cohorts and for AAAs smaller than 50 mm by using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results Eighty-one patients were included (mean age, 73 years ± 7 years [standard deviation]; 78 men). The derivation and validation cohorts included, respectively, 50 and 31 participants. In the derivation cohort, there was higher mean lumen volume and lower mean WSS in the progression group compared with the stable group (60 mL ± 14 vs 46 mL ± 18 [P = .005] and 66% ± 6 vs 53% ± 9 [P = .02], respectively). Mean lumen volume and mean WSS at baseline were correlated to total volume growth (r = 0.47 [P = .002] and -0.42 [P = .006], respectively). In the derivation cohort, a regression model including lumen volume and WSS to predict aneurysm enlargement was superior to maximal diameter alone (AUC, 0.78 vs 0.52, respectively; P = .003); although no difference was found in the validation cohort (AUC, 0.79 vs 0.71, respectively; P = .51). For AAAs smaller than 50 mm, a regression model that included both baseline WSS and lumen volume performed better than maximal diameter (AUC, 0.79 vs 0.53, respectively; P = .01). Conclusion Combined analysis of lumen volume and wall shear stress was associated with enlargement of abdominal aortic aneurysms at 1 year, particularly in aneurysms smaller than 50 mm in diameter. © RSNA, 2020 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

RESUMO

Background and Purpose- Our goal was to evaluate whether the presence of a low signal intensity known as susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) on T2*-gradient echo imaging sequence was predictive of arterial recanalization and the early clinical improvement after mechanical thrombectomy. Methods- This observational study was based on a prospective database of acute ischemic strokes treated by mechanical thrombectomy. Inclusion criteria were patients with acute anterior ischemic stroke, diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging, including a T2*-gradient echo imaging sequence, and treated by mechanical thrombectomy. Two independent readers assessed the presence of an SVS. Successful recanalization was defined as a Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score of 2b-3 after mechanical thrombectomy. Early clinical improvement was estimated by the difference between the baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale on day 1 after treatment Results- The SVS was detected in 137 (76%) out of 180 patients. The kappa interrater agreement was 0.71 with a 95% CI of 0.59 to 0.82. Successful recanalization was associated with an SVS+ with odds ratio, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.05-5.74; P=0.03. The early clinical improvement was better in patients with an SVS+ (median, -6; interquartile range, -11 to 0) compared with SVS- patients (median, -1; interquartile range, -10 to 3) with P=0.01. Conclusions- The visualization of SVS is a reliable and easily accessible predictive factor of recanalization success and early clinical improvement.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Choice of anesthesia type on outcome for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke remains controversial. The goal of our research was to study the impact of anesthesia strategy on the delay, angiographic and neurological outcome of MT performed under general anesthesia (GA) vs. conscious sedation (CS). METHODS: This prospective, single-center observational study included patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (ACLVO) strokes treated with MT within 6 hours of symptom onset. All time metrics were evaluated. Angiographic and clinical outcomes were assessed by recanalization rate (mTICI) and 3-month functional independence (mRs). Complications and mortality rate were recorded as safety outcomes. RESULTS: In total, 303 consecutive thrombectomies were performed, 86.8% under GA. NIHSS was higher in GA, with median of 19.0 for GA and 16.5 for CS (P = 0.049). Median time from arrival in hospital (door) to groin puncture was 83 min (IQR = 45.0-109.5) for GA compared to 72 min (IQR = 35.0-85.3) for CS, P = 0.170). Median time from arrival in the angiosuite to groin puncture was 20 min (IQR = 15.0-29.0) for GA compared to 15 min (IQR = 10.0-20.0) for CS, P = 0.017). There were no significant differences in recanalization time metrics, successful revascularization rate, functional independence and mortality rate at three months. CONCLUSIONS: GA induced a 5 to 10 minutes delay for groin puncture, without impact on recanalization time metrics, or neurological outcome at 3 months. Our results demonstrate that a well-organized workflow is associated with reasonable delay in performing GA for MT, without effect on outcome compared to sedation.

RESUMO

SummaryThe Contour is a promising new device designed to treat large-neck intra-cranial aneurysms. We describe a first case of Contour device displacement 18 months after initial treatment.A patient with a 10 mm unruptured right middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysm was treated with a 9 mm Contour. The device was correctly positioned at the neck during treatment and at the 6 month angiography follow-up. At 18 months follow-up we noticed a full displacement of the device into the aneurysm dome. The Contour had a reversed shape and the aneurysm was still fully opacified. No neurological event occurred during the whole follow-up. Contour may be a promising tool but needs to be assessed over a long-term period.
