- The arterial blood supply to the dura mater is rich, complex and is derived from both the internal and external carotid systems. Endovascular management of a variety of intracranial diseases necessitates a thorough understanding of the dural arterial network. In this article we review the normal contributions of the pial arteries to the blood supply of the dura mater and discuss some aspects of its role in the supply of dural arteriovenous shunts (DAVS).

- The aim of this study was to report our single centre experience with the Medina Embolic Device (MED). Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data to identify all patients treated with the MED. A total of 14 aneurysms (non-consecutive), in 13 patients, were treated including one ruptured and one partially thrombosed aneurysm. Fundus diameter was ≥5 mm in all cases. We evaluated the angiographic appearances, the clinical status, complications, and the need for adjunctive devices or repeat treatments. Results Aneurysm location was cavernous internal carotid artery (ICA; n = 1), supraclinoid ICA ( n = 1), terminal ICA ( n = 2), anterior communicating artery (AComA; n = 4), A2–3 ( n = 1), M1–2 junction ( n = 1), posterior communicating artery (PComA; n = 1), superior cerebellar artery (SCA; n = 1), and basilar tip ( n = 2). The average aneurysm fundus size was 8.6 mm (range 7–10 mm) and average neck size 3.75 mm (range 1.9–6.9 mm). Immediate angiographic results were modified Raymond–Roy occlusion classification (mRRC) I n = 2, mRRC II n = 1, mRRC IIIa n = 2, mRRC IIIb n = 2, the remaining 7 aneurysms showed complete opacification. At follow-up angiography (mean 5 months) mRRC I n = 5, mRRC II n = 5, mRRC IIIa n = 3, and persistent filling was seen in 1 aneurysm. Overall, four patients had repeat treatment and one is pending further treatment. Of the aneurysms treated with more than one MED, 75% showed complete occlusion at 6-month follow up whereas only one aneurysm treated with a single device showed complete occlusion. Overall, three patients had temporary complications and there were no deaths. Conclusions The MED is an intra-saccular flow-diverting device with satisfactory angiographic results and an acceptable safety profile. Use of a single MED cannot be recommended and further longer term studies are needed prior to widespread clinical use.

- We studied patients treated with the EmboTrap revascularization device in a prospective registry which is core laboratory evaluated by physicians from external centers. The goal was to determine how the EmboTrap would perform under the everyday conditions of a high-volume stroke center.MethodsWe examined all patients with acute stroke treated with the Embotrap device from October 2013 to March 2017 in our center. Imaging parameters and times were adjudicated by core laboratory personnel blinded to clinical information, treating physician, and clinical outcomes. Clinical evaluation was performed by independent neurologists and entered in a national registry. Evaluated endpoints were: successful revascularization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) 2b–3) and good clinical outcomes at 3 months (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0–2).Results201 consecutive patients with a median NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 15 (range 2–30) were included. 170 patients (84.6%) achieved mTICI 2b–3 reperfusion. The median number of attempts was 2 (range 1–10) with 52.8% of the population achieving good functional outcomes (mRS 0–2) at 3 months. On univariate analysis, good functional outcome was associated with the number of attempts, puncture-to-reperfusion time, anterior circulation occlusion, and NIHSS score. On multivariate analysis, pre-treatment NIHSS (OR 0.845 per point, 95% CI 0.793 to 0.908, P<0.001) and puncture-to-reperfusion time (OR 0.9952 per min, 95% CI 0.9914 to 0.9975, P=0.023) were associated with good functional outcomes at 3 months.ConclusionThe Embotrap device has a high rate of successful reperfusion. Our core laboratory-audited single-center experience suggests the technical feasibility and safety of the Embotrap for first-line use in a real-world setting.

- <b><i>Background:</i></b> One endovascular treatment option of acute ischemic stroke due to tandem occlusion (TO) comprises intracranial thrombectomy and acute extracranial carotid artery stenting (CAS). In this setting, the order of treatment may impact the clinical outcome in this stroke subtype. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Retrospective analysis was performed on data prospectively collected in 4 international stroke centers between 2013 and 2017. One hundred sixty-five patients with anterior TO were treated by endovascular therapy. Clinical and procedural data were evaluated. Favorable clinical outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≤2 at 90 days. Propensity score matching was performed for different treatment strategies. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Patients’ mean age was 65 ± 11 years and 118 were male (69%). The median admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was 15 (interquartile range 8). In 59% of the patients (<i>n</i> = 101), the antegrade strategy (first stenting, then thrombectomy) was performed, in 41% (<i>n</i> = 70) retrograde treatment (first thrombectomy, then stenting). Successful reperfusion (mTICI ≥2b) was achieved in 128 patients (75%). Fifty-nine patients (39%) showed a favorable clinical outcome after 90 days. After propensity score matching, data of 100 patients could be analyzed. Analysis revealed that the retrograde strategy yielded a significantly higher rate of successful reperfusion compared to the antegrade strategy (92 vs. 56%; <i>p</i> < 0.001). The rate of favorable clinical outcome after 90 days (mRS ≤2) was consistently higher (44 vs. 30%; <i>p</i> < 0.05) in the retrograde strategy group. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Mechanical thrombectomy prior to acute CAS in TO is a predictive factor for favorable clinical outcome at 90 days.

- Acute ischaemic stroke due to distal medium vessel occlusion (AIS-DMVO) causes significant morbidity. Endovascular thrombectomy advancement has made treating AIS-DMVO with stent retrievers (SR) and aspiration catheters (AC) possible, however the optimal technique remains unknown. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of SR use compared to purely AC use in patients with AIS-DMVO. Methods We systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane Library and EMBASE, from inception to 2nd September 2022, for studies comparing SR or primary combined (SR/PC) against AC in AIS-DMVO. We adopted the Distal Thrombectomy Summit Group’s definition of DMVO. Efficacy outcomes were functional independence (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0–2 at 90 days), first pass effect (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction scale (mTICI) 2c-3 or expanded Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction scale (eTICI) 2c-3 at first pass), successful final recanalisation (mTICI or eTICI 2b-3), and excellent final recanalisation (mTICI or eTICI 2c-3). Safety outcomes were symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage (sICH) and 90-day mortality. Results 12 cohort studies and 1 randomised-controlled trial were included, involving 1881 patients with 1274 receiving SR/PC and 607 receiving AC only. SR/PC achieved higher odds of functional independence (odds ratio (OR) 1.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06–1.67) and lower odds of mortality (OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.50–0.94) than AC. Odds of successful/excellent recanalisation and sICH were similar between both groups. Stratified to compare only SR and only AC, the use of only SR, achieved significantly higher odds of successful recanalisation as compared to only AC (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.17–2.78). Conclusion There is potential for efficacy and safety benefits in SR/PC use as compared to AC only in AIS-DMVO. Further trials are necessary to validate the efficacy and safety of SR use in AIS-DMVO.

- Collateral blood flow is known to be an important factor that sustains the penumbra during acute stroke. We looked at both the leptomeningeal collateral circulation and the presence of anterior and posterior communicating arteries to determine the factors associated with good outcomes and mortality. Methods We included all patients with acute ischaemic stroke in the anterior circulation, who underwent thrombectomy with the same thrombectomy device from 2013 to 2016. We assessed the leptomeningeal circulation by the Tan, Miteff and Maas validated scoring systems on pre-treatment computed tomographic angiography scans and looked at collateral flow through anterior and posterior communicating arteries. The results were good functional outcomes at 3 months (modified Rankin scale 0–2) and mortality. Results A total of 147 consecutive acute stroke patients treated with the Embotrap device were included with a median National Institutes of Health stroke scale of 15 (range 2–26). On multivariate analysis only younger age (odds ratio (OR) 0.96/year, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.94–0.99, P = 0.026), lower National Institutes of Health stroke scale score (OR 0.87/point, 95% CI 0.80–0.93, P < 0.001), number of attempts (OR 0.80/attempt, 95% CI 0.65–0.99, P = 0.043) and the presence of a patent anterior communicating artery (OR 14.03, 95% CI 1.42–139.07, P = 0.024) were associated with good functional outcomes. The number of attempts (OR 1.66/attempt, 95% CI 1.21–2.29, P = 0.002) was significantly associated with mortality and the presence of a patent posterior communicating artery (OR 0.098, 95% CI 0.016–0.59, P = 0.011) was inversely associated with mortality. Conclusions Our study shows that the presence of anterior and posterior communicating arteries is significantly associated with good functional outcomes and reduced mortality, respectively, independent of the leptomeningeal circulation status.
