Abstract
Importance Reperfusion is a key factor for clinical outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated with endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for large-vessel intracranial occlusion. However, data are scarce on the association between the time from onset and reperfusion results. Objective To analyze the rate of reperfusion after EVT started at different intervals after symptom onset in patients with AIS. Design, Setting, and Participants We conducted a meta-analysis of individual patient data from 7 randomized trials of the Highly Effective Reperfusion Using Multiple Endovascular Devices (HERMES) group. This is a multicenter cohort study of the intervention arm of randomized clinical trials included in the HERMES group. Patients with anterior circulation AIS who underwent EVT for M1/M2 or intracranial carotid artery occlusion were included. Each trial enrolled patients according to its specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data on patients eligible but not enrolled (eg, refusals or exclusions) were not available. All analyses were performed by the HERMES biostatistical core laboratory using the pooled database. Data were analyzed between December 2010 and April 2015. Main Outcomes and Measures Successful reperfusion was defined as a modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score of 2b/3 at the end of the EVT procedure adjusted for age, occlusion location, pretreatment intravenous thrombolysis, and clot burden score and was analyzed in relation to different intervals (onset, emergency department arrival, imaging, and puncture) using mixed-methods logistic regression. Results Among the 728 included patients, with a mean (SD) age of 65.4 (13.5) years and of whom 345 were female (47.4%), decreases in rates of successful reperfusion defined as a thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score of 2b/3 were observed with increasing time from admission or first imaging to groin puncture. The magnitude of effect was a 22% relative reduction (odds ratio, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.64-0.95) per additional hour between admission and puncture and a 26% relative reduction (odds ratio, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.59-0.93) per additional hour between imaging and puncture. Conclusions and Relevance Because the probability of reperfusion declined significantly with time between hospital arrival and groin puncture, we provide additional arguments for minimizing the intervals after symptom onset in anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Objective:
Imaging technology for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) has improved detection of such aneurysms. However, there is limited information on UIA change over time, and how to predict the rate of enlargement. The objective of this study was to quantify the accuracy of the Predicted Aneurysm Trajectory (PAT) model recently developed by Chien et al. (J Neurosurgery. 2019; Mar 1:1-11).
Methods:
Patients diagnosed with UIA were prospectively enrolled at the UCLA Medical Center, and followed through serial imaging. 16 UIA cases exhibiting growth across multiple follow-ups were included in this study. Prior images and medical records were collected. Characteristics relevant to the PAT model (mean ± stdev), including initial UIA size (7.26 ± 6.38), patient age (67.4 ± 9.48 yrs.), sex (4 male), history of smoking (n=5), hypothyroidism (n=4), and follow-up duration (36.5 ± 50.0 mos.) were used to predict UIA size at each follow-up. Predicted and actual UIA sizes at follow-up were compared using symmetric mean absolute percentage error (SMAPE) with percentage error ranging from 0-100%.
Results:
The 16 UIA cases were split by initial UIA size. For UIA smaller than 7 mm (10 cases, 23 follow-up), SMAPE = 11.13%. For UIA greater than 7 mm (6 cases, 15 follow-up), SMAPE = 8.07%. For all UIA cases (16 cases, 38 follow-up), SMAPE = 9.92%.
Conclusions:
The PAT model predicts the rate of enlargement for UIA, as opposed to whether or not UIA will grow. With this new sample of data, we found the predicted UIA size at follow-up to be quite accurate, deviating in the range of 10% from the actual, measured size. Patient characteristics such as the demographics and behavior included in the model influence the growth of UIA, which allows prediction of growth to optimize treatment and management in future cases.

Abstract
Introduction:
The role of increased CBF after endovascular thrombectomy in post-ischemic hyperperfusion has not been studied in detail. We aimed to investigate the timing of CBF increases on PWI after thrombectomy in association with hemorrhagic transformation.
Methods:
We analyzed prospectively collected data in consecutive patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy. Inclusion criteria were: (1) patients with ICA or M1 occlusion, and (2) PWI and GRE obtained within 12 hours and 12-48 hours after thrombectomy. We compared each rCBF with early hemorrhage (within 12 hours after thrombectomy), late hemorrhage (12-48 hour) and non-hemorrhage in basal ganglia (BG) and MCA cortical or subcortical (CS) region. In each PWI dataset, ROIs were placed in two slice levels of the BG and three slice levels of the CS region.
Results:
Fifty-three patients met inclusion criteria. Early BG hemorrhages were noted in 13 patients, with 4 late BG hemorrhage, 8 early CS hemorrhage and 3 late CS hemorrhage. There were no significant differences on rCBF in PWI within 12 hours after thrombectomy between early hemorrhage, late hemorrhage and non-hemorrhage groups. In contrast, rCBF on 12-48 hours PWI in the BG region was significantly higher in the early BG hemorrhage than non-BG hemorrhage (lower BG slice 1.36 vs 1.01, p<0.001, upper BG slice 1.33 vs 0.96, p<0.001) and rCBF in CS region were significantly higher in early CS hemorrhage than non-CS hemorrhage (lower CS slice 1.55 vs 0.98, p=0.001, middle CS slice 1.31 vs 0.92, p=0.018). There were no significant differences in rCBF on 12-48 hours PWI between the late hemorrhage and non-hemorrhage group.
Conclusions:
Most intracerebral hemorrhages after thrombectomy were seen within 12 hours after intervention. A rCBF increase in hemorrhage cases was not seen on PWI within 12 hours after thrombectomy. rCBF increases on PWI 12-48 hours after thrombectomy, however, was associated with post-thrombectomy hemorrhage within 12 hours.

Abstract
Introduction:
Emboli retrieved from stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy vastly differ in histopathologic appearance, likely reflecting varying etiologies of stroke. We investigated whether clot components correlated with clinical features and thrombectomy outcomes.
Methods:
Retrieved thrombi from endovascular thrombectomy in consecutive AIS-LVO patients at 2 academic medical centers were fixed in formalin and sections stained by hematoxylin and eosin. The RBC, WBC and fibrin percentages of the clot were quantified by a neuropathologist blinded to the clinical details. We evaluated the association of these clot components, patient demographic and clinical features, with TICI score (both ordinal and dichotomized at 2c), AOL score, number of thrombectomy passes, and first-pass substantial recanalization (≥TICI 2b result on the first thrombectomy device pass). Non-parametric values were computed via Spearman correlation and pairwise interaction of clinical features was analyzed by ordinal logistic regression.
Results:
Among the 75 analyzed patients, mean age was 71.4 (SD 17.7), 50.7% were female and presenting NIHSS mean was 16.1 (SD 7.6). Devices employed were stent retrievers in 71% of patients, aspiration in 10%, and both stent retrievers and aspiration in 19%. Number of passes per procedure was mean 2.16 (SD 1.21). Substantial reperfusion (TICI 2B-3) was achieved in 88% and excellent reperfusion (TICI 2C-3) in 44%. In retrieved thrombi, mean RBC% was 44.8% (SD 31.9) and mean fibrin% was 49.8% (SD 31.4). Rates of first-pass substantial reperfusion, final substantial reperfusion, and final excellent reperfusion were homogenous across wide ranges of retrieved thrombus RBC% and fibrin% in correlation analysis.
Conclusion:
RBC and fibrin composition range widely among retrieved thrombi causing acute ischemic stroke. Current generation thrombectomy devices perform well across a broad range of clot compositions.

Abstract
Background:
Speedy decision-making is helpful for optimal outcomes from endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Visual displays may facilitate rapid review of relevant outcomes with different courses of action, but have not yet been developed for late-presenting patients selected for EVT based on multimodal CT or MR imaging.
Methods:
From pooled, study-level randomized trial (DAWN and DEFUSE 3) data, 100 person-icon arrays (Kuiper-Marshall personographs) were generated showing beneficial and adverse effects of endovascular thrombectomy for patients with acute cerebral ischemia and large vessel occlusion using (1) automated (algorithmic) and (2) expert-guided joint outcome table specification.
Results:
Among imaging-selected patients 6-24 hours from last known well, for the full 7-category modified Rankin Scale (mRS), endovascular thrombectomy had number needed to treat to benefit 1.9 (IQR 1.9-2.1) and number needed to harm 40.0 (29.2-58.3). Visual displays of treatment effects among 100 patients showed that, with EVT: 52 patients have better disability outcome, including 32 more achieving functional independence (mRS 0-2); 3 patients have worse disability outcome, including 1 more experiencing severe disability or death (mRS 5-6), mediated by symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and infarct in new territory. The person-icon figure integrated these outcomes, and early side-effects, in a single display (Figure). Similar features were present in person-icon figures based on a 6-level mRS (levels 5 and 6 combined) rather than 7-level mRS, and giving special emphasis to normal or near-normal outcome (mRS 0-1) rather than functional independence (mR 0-2).
Conclusion:
Personograph visual decision aids are now available to rapidly educate patients, family, and healthcare providers on the benefits and risks of late, imaging-guided endovascular thrombectomy therapies for acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Background:
When penumbral imaging shows “total mismatch” (large perfusion lesion and no irreversibly infarcted core), the entirety of jeopardized brain is still salvageable and the benefits of reperfusion therapy may be enhanced. The frequency, characteristics, and reperfusion therapy outcomes of total mismatch patients has not been well-characterized.
Methods:
Analysis of consecutive acute cerebral ischemia patients in anterior circulation undergoing CT or MR penumbral imaging prior to intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and/or endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). Patients were classified in four groups: 1) total mismatch (core 0% of perfusion lesion), 2) non-total but substantial mismatch (core 1-20% of perfusion lesion), 3) moderate or no mismatch (core 20-100% of perfusion lesion), and 4) small perfusion lesion (perfusion lesion volume <10 ml).
Results:
Among 180 patients, pretreatment imaging patterns were: total mismatch 28.9%, substantial mismatch 22.8%, moderate or no mismatch 22.8%, and small perfusion lesion 25.6%. Among total mismatch patients, the Tmax>6 sec perfusion lesion volume was 56.5 ml (IQR 28.3-85.6) and time from last known well to imaging was 89 mins (IQR 65-296). Compared to moderate patients, clinical features of total mismatch patients were: older (76.0 vs 65.9, p=0.006), lower NIHSS (median 12 vs 18, p=0.019), and more cardioembolism (76.9% vs 48.8%, p=0.005). Total mismatch patients more often had CT than MR (65.4% vs 14.6%, p=0.000), less ICA occlusion (15.4% vs 34.1%, p=0.035), and smaller perfusion lesions (median 56.5 vs 82.1 ml, p=0.007). Total mismatch patients were treated with combined IVT+EVT in 32.7%, IVT alone in 26.9%, and EVT alone in 40.4%. Freedom from disability (mRS 0-1) at discharge was more frequent, 35.6% vs 16.2%, p=0.049 and disability levels at day 90 were lower in total mismatch patients, mean mRS 2.7 vs 3.9, p=0.029.
Conclusion:
Total mismatch is present in one-quarter of patients undergoing reperfusion therapy, more often in older patients with cardioembolism as etiology of stroke. Total mismatch patients have better disability outcomes from reperfusion therapy, but more than half show disability indicating need for more complete reperfusion.

Abstract
Background:
Targeted eloquence-based tissue reperfusion within the primary motor cortex may have differential effect on disability as compared to the traditional volume-based (TICI) reperfusion after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in setting of acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Methods:
We explored the impact of eloquent reperfusion (ER) within primary motor cortex (PMC) on clinical outcome (mRS) in AIS patients undergoing EVT. ER was defined as presence of flow on final digital subtraction angiography (DSA) within four main cortical branches, supplying the PMC (MCA - precentral, central, anterior parietal; ACA- pericallosal) and graded as absent (0), partial (1), and complete (2). Prospectively collected data from two centers were analyzed. Multivariable analysis was conducted to assess the impact of ER on 90-day disability (mRS) among patients with anterior circulation occlusion who achieved partial reperfusion (TICI 2 a and b).
Results:
Among the 125 patients who met study criteria, median age was 73, median NIHSS was 16, median ASPECTS was 7, 48% (60/125) were female, and 36.8% achieved functional independence (mRS 0-2) at 90 days. ER distribution was: Absent (0) in 19/125 (15.2%); Partial (1) in 52/125 (41.6%), and Complete (2) in 54/125 (43.2%). TICI 2b was achieved in 102/125 (81.6%) and ER was substantially higher in those patients (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, in addition to age and sICH, ER had a profound independent impact on 90-day disability (OR 6.10, p=0.001 for ER 1 vs 0; and OR 9.87, p<0.001 for ER 2 vs 0). In contrast, extent of total partial reperfusion (TICI 2b vs 2a) was not related to 90-day disability.
Conclusions:
Our findings support that eloquent PMC-tissue reperfusion is a major determinant of functional outcome, more impactful than volume-based degree of partial reperfusion. More aggressive, PMC-targeted revascularization among patients with non-eloquent partial reperfusion may further improve post-stroke disability after EVT.

Abstract
Background:
Clot propagation after initial occlusion may increase target thrombus burden and its pathophysiologic basis has not been extensively studied in acute human ischemic stroke. We investigated whether clot characteristics on MRI, catheter angiography, and thrombus histopathology indicated that impaired collaterals may be associated with extension of acute intracranial occlusions via stasis clotting in slow flow arterial segments.
Methods:
Analysis of consecutive AIS-LVO endovascular thrombectomy patients at 2 academic medical centers with: 1) pretreatment MRI, and 2) retrieved thrombi. GRE MR susceptibility vessel sign presence and extent of ASITN collateral scores were rated by blinded assessors. Extracted clots were fixed in formalin, stained by hematoxylin and eosin, and RBC, WBC and fibrin percent composition quantified by a neuropathologist blinded to clinical details. We evaluated the correlation of collateral grade with clot size by susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) and clot composition by RBC%. Non-parametric values were computed via Spearman correlation.
Results:
Among the 48 patients, mean age was 71.4 (SD 17.7), 56.3% female, and mean presenting NIHSS was 15.5 (SD 7.41). A susceptibility vessel sign was present in 65%, with mean SVS length 15.6 mm (SD 8.3). Collateral scores were mean 2.3 (SD 1.2). The number of passes per procedure was mean 1.98 (SD 1.30) The presence of a susceptibility vessel sign correlated with higher RBC% in retrieved thrombi (r
s
=0.36 p=0.011). Worse collateral grades correlated with longer SVS length (r
s
=-0.50 p=0.004) and greater SVS width (r
s
=-0.54 p=0.002). Worse collateral grade also trended toward correlation with higher RBC% in retrieved clots (r
s
=-0.19 p=0.18).
Conclusion:
Impaired angiographic collaterals are associated with longer RBC-rich thrombi on susceptibility imaging and trend toward association with higher RBC% in retrieved thrombi. These findings support that, in LVO acute ischemic stroke, clot propagation after initial occlusion occurs by stasis clotting accelerated by impaired collaterals.

Abstract
Introduction:
Current guidelines recommend administration of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IVT) for all eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO). Recent observational data question the safety and efficacy of IVT in AIS patients with LVO undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT).
Methods:
Retrospective analysis using prospectively collected database on all AIS patients with LVO treated at our institution over 3 consecutive years. Stroke outcomes and adverse events were compared between patients who underwent IVT+MT versus MT only. Stroke outcomes were adjusted for known comorbidities, last know well time and core volume on pretreatment imaging.
Results:
158 AIS patients with LVO were treated. 69 patients had treatment strategy of IVT+MT, 89 patients MT only. 7 (10%) patients treated with IVT had successful reperfusion before MT. IVT+MT, compared with MT alone, was associated with reduced 90day mortality (22.4% vs 40.8%, p:0.03) and reduced 90day severe disability or death (mRS 4-6: 48% vs 67%, p:0.03). Door-to-puncture time (DTP) was longer with IVT. IVT was not associated with increased intracranial hemorrhage but was associated with increased access site hematomas (16.9% vs 5.7%, p:0.03). Both groups showed similar proportion of patients ≥TICI2c (IVT+MT: 48% vs MT: 47%), however IVT+MT patients had greater proportion of TICI2c than TICI3. (IVT+MT TICI2c:30.4% vs MT TICI2c:17%)
Conclusions:
IVT before MT in AIS with LVO, results in reperfusion prior to thrombectomy in 10% of patients, and is associated with reduced mortality and severe disability at 90days. However, IVT+MT is associated with more access site hematomas and increased TICI 2C vs TICI 3 reperfusion, suggesting increased distal embolization due to thrombus fragmentation. The use of balloon guide for proximal flow arrest and aspiration during thrombectomy should be considered.

Abstract
Background:
Mechanical thrombectomy is established for large vessel occlusions in acute ischemic stroke, but the potential role in distal vessel occlusions of medium arteries is largely unknown. Such distal arterial segments have not been measured with respect to thrombectomy devices used during endovascular therapy. We conducted a systematic analysis of arterial size, segmental anatomy and stent retriever device performance during thrombectomy.
Methods:
The STRATIS angiography core lab adjudicated the exact location of the occlusion, proximal and distal device deployment, relationship to arterial bifurcations and anatomical nomenclature. Arterial diameters were measured at all of these sites. Statistical analyses examined the relationship between these variables, arterial recanalization and eTICI reperfusion.
Results:
Thrombectomy was performed with various device sizes, including Solitaire 4x40 in 36.3% (306/844), Solitaire 6x30 in 31.4% (265/844), Solitaire 4x20 in 26.4% (223/844), unspecified in 3.8% (32/844), Solitaire 6x20 in 1.3% (11/844) and Solitaire 4x15 in 0.8% (7/844). Arterial diameter at the occlusion site was median 2.17mm (1.40-3.59) in the distal M1, 1.67mm (0.81-2.98) in the proximal M2, 1.50mm (0.92-1.99) in the distal M2, 1.24mm (0.67-2.00) in the M3 and 1.88mm (1.49-1.94) in the P1. Considerable overlap was noted between arterial sizes at occlusion sites carrying different segmental arterial nomenclature or vessel names. During device deployment in STRATIS, median arterial diameter at the occlusion site was 2.4mm (IQR 1.9, 3.4), 2.9mm (IQR 2.2, 3.6) at the proximal stent marker and 1.4mm (IQR 1.2, 1.7) at the distal stent marker. Substantial eTICI reperfusion (2b-3) was achieved in all distal vessel occlusions (Table 1).
Conclusions:
Substantial reperfusion may be achieved with currently available mechanical thrombectomy devices for distal vessel occlusions in medium arteries.

Abstract
Background:
Speed of infarct progression varies widely in acute ischemic stroke and is a major determinant of outcome. Patient demographic, clinical, and imaging features associated with slow, intermediate, and rapid infarct growth have not been well delineated.
Methods:
In a prospectively maintained stroke center registry, we analyzed consecutive patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion who underwent first multimodal MRI or CT imaging within 24 hours of onset. The speed of initial infarct progression was calculated as ischemic core volume at first imaging divided by the time from stroke onset to imaging.
Results:
Among the 88 patients, age was mean 71.6 ± 15.0; 51% were women; initial NIHSS was 16.1 ± 6.5), and time from onset to first imaging was median 3.3h (full range 0.6 - 23.0). The speed of infarct progression was median 2.2 cc/hr (interquartile range 0 - 8.7), ranging most widely among patients imaged within the first 6 hours after onset. Faster speed of infarct progression was positively independently associated with low collateral score (OR 3.30, 95%CI 1.25 - 10.49) and arrival by emergency medical services rather than transfer (OR 3.34, 95% CI 1.06 - 10.49) and negatively independently associated with prior ischemic stroke (OR 0.12, 95%CI 0.03 - 0.50) and coronary artery disease (OR 0.32, 95%CI 0.10 - 1.00). Among the 67 patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy, slower speeds of infarct progression were associated with shift to reduced levels of disability at discharge (OR 3.26, 95% CI 1.02 - 10.45). In addition, slower speed of infarct progression was associated with favorable shift to recanalization by thrombectomy (OR 8.30, 95%CI 0.97 - 70-.87) and reduced radiologic hemorrhagic transformation (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.12 - 0.94).
Conclusion:
Slower speed of initial infarct progression is associated with high collateral score, prior ischemic stroke, and coronary artery disease, supporting roles for both collateral robustness and ischemic precondition in fostering tissue resilience to ischemia. Among patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy, speed of initial infarct progression is a major determinant of clinical outcome.

Abstract
Background:
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) associated with vessel injury during endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke is a known complication. Arterial anatomy may predispose to increased risk of SAH and technical safety, yet factors such as clot location, arterial size and tortuosity have not been explored. We examined these anatomical factors with respect to SAH during thrombectomy.
Methods:
Arterial anatomy at the site of occlusion and mechanical thrombectomy during device deployment was detailed by the STRATIS core lab. Luminal diameters, arterial branching and segmental tortuosity were measured. Arterial tortuosity was quantified using the distance factor metric (DFM). Statistical analyses included descriptives of arterial anatomy, with univariate and multivariate modeling to predict SAH.
Results:
Arterial tortuosity in each segment from the proximal cerebral arteries to the site of occlusion was quantified in 790 subjects treated with mechanical thrombectomy in STRATIS. Cumulative arterial tortuosity to the site of vessel occlusion was greater in distal lesions (Table 1). SAH was clearly linked with more distal thrombectomy (p=0.017), with 19.0% of distal M2, 16.7% of M3, 7.3% of distal M1, 5.8% of proximal M2, 2.4% of distal ICA and 2.1% of proximal M1. Multivariate prediction of SAH revealed that arterial diameter was unrelated to SAH (p=0.30) when accounting for tortuosity, whereas the presence of tortuosity tripled the risk of SAH (OR 3, p<0.05).
Conclusions:
This novel systematic analysis of arterial tortuosity and angiographic anatomy during mechanical thrombectomy establishes tortuosity as a determinant of SAH, providing insight for future techniques and innovative device designs.

Abstract
Introduction:
3D printed human vascular in vitro models of aneurysms and acute stroke have been utilized for training, simulation and device development. However, there are no realistic in vitro arteriovenous malformation (AVM) models. Current experimental models analyzing the efficacy of embolic materials or flow conditions are limited by their simplistic design, lacking complex AVM nidus anatomic features. The purpose of this study is to develop a new in vitro AVM model for embolic material testing and flow analysis.
Methods:
3D images of the AVM nidus were extracted from 3D rotational angiography from a patient. Artificial feeders and drainers were added to the nidus and an inner vascular mold was printed using a 3D printer. The inner mold was coated with polydimethylsiloxanes. The inner plastic mold was removed by acetone, leaving a hollow AVM model. ONYX injection and 4DFlow MRI (Phase Contrast MRA) were performed using the AVM models. In addition, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed to compare flow rate with 4DFlow MRI.
Results:
An in vitro AVM model with realistic representation of nidus vasculature and complexity was successfully created. Liquid onyx injection performed in the in vitro model successfully replicated real-life treatment conditions. The model effectively simulated plug and push technique before penetration of the ONYX into the AVM nidus. 4DFlow MRI flow rates were similar to the CFD analysis.
Conclusions:
An in vitro AVM model using 3D printing technology was successfully created. The model demonstrated realistic pliability during ONYX injection. This in vitro AVM model may represent a useful tool for training and development of new materials, and have potential of highly-resolved flow quantifications.

Abstract
Background and Purpose- Understanding the influence of hyperglycemia on outcomes in terms of the pretreatment collateral status might contribute to the achievement of case-specific glucose management in acute ischemic stroke. We sought to investigate whether the glucose level can influence the pretreatment collateral status and functional outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke and whether the impact of hyperglycemia on outcomes can be modified by the pretreatment collateral status. Methods- We analyzed the Triple-S database, which includes individual patient data pooled from 3 prospective Solitaire stent retriever studies (SWIFT [Solitaire With the Intention for Thrombectomy], SWIFT PRIME [SWIFT as Primary Endovascular Treatment], and STAR [Solitaire Flow Restoration Thrombectomy for Acute Revascularization]). Patients were eligible if they had acute ischemic stroke with moderate to severe neurological deficits, harbored angiographically confirmed large vessel occlusion, and were treatable by endovascular thrombectomy within 8 hours of onset. Pretreatment catheter angiograms were scored for collateral grades by a core imaging laboratory. The main outcome was 3-month good outcome (modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2). Results- Angiographic data on collaterals were available in 309 patients (age, 67±12 years; glucose, 131±55 mg/dL). Overall, the glucose level at presentation was not associated with pretreatment collateral status but was significantly lower in patients with a good outcome at 90 days (124 versus 140 mg/dL). Collateral grades modified the effect of glucose on good outcomes at 90 days ( Pint=0.03). Among patients with poor collaterals (collateral grades, 0-2), higher glucose levels did not alter the outcome, whereas among patients with good collaterals (3-4), higher glucose levels reduced the likelihood of a good outcome at 90 days (per 10 mg/dL increase: odds ratio, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.69-0.95). Conclusions- Our study revealed that higher glucose levels reduce the likelihood of a good outcome among patients with good collaterals, but their effects on the outcome are less significant for patients with poor collaterals. The results suggest that good collaterals at presentation may be targets for more intensive glucose control and future studies relating to glucose management.

Abstract
Background and Purpose- We determined the effect of sex on outcome after endovascular stroke thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke, including lifelong disability outcomes. Methods- We analyzed patients treated with the Solitaire stent retriever in the combined SWIFT (Solitaire FR With the Intention for Thrombectomy), STAR (Solitaire FR Thrombectomy for Acute Revascularization), and SWIFT PRIME (Solitaire FR With the Intention for Thrombectomy as Primary Endovascular Treatment) cohorts. Ordinal and logistic regression were used to examine known factors influencing outcome after endovascular stroke thrombectomy and study the effect of sex on the association between these factors and outcomes, including age and time to reperfusion. Years of optimal life after thrombectomy were defined as disability-adjusted life years and calculated by projecting disability through adjusted poststroke life expectancy by sex. Results- Among 389 patients treated with endovascular stroke thrombectomy, 55% were females, and median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was 17 (interquartile range, 8-28). There were no differences between females versus males in presenting deficit severity (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, 17 versus 17, P=0.21), occlusion location (69% versus 64% M1, P=0.62), presenting infarct extent (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score 8 versus 8, P=0.24), rate of substantial reperfusion (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2b/3, 87% versus 83%, P=0.37), onset to reperfusion time (294 versus 302 minutes, P=0.46). Despite older ages (69 versus 64, P<0.001) and higher rate of atrial fibrillation (45% versus 30%, P=0.002) for females compared with males, adjusted rates of functional independence at 90 days were similar (odds ratio, 1.0; 95% CI, 0.6-1.6). After adjusting for age at presentation and stroke severity, females had more years of optimal life (disability-adjusted life year) after endovascular stroke thrombectomy, 10.6 versus 8.5 years (P<0.001). Conclusions- Despite greater age and higher rate of atrial fibrillation, females experienced comparable functional outcomes and greater years of optimal life after intervention compared with males.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Randomized clinical trials suggest benefit of endovascular-reperfusion therapy for large vessel occlusion in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is time dependent, but the extent to which it influences outcome and generalizability to routine clinical practice remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE To characterize the association of speed of treatment with outcome among patients with AIS undergoing endovascular-reperfusion therapy. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective cohort study using data prospectively collected from January 2015 to December 2016 in the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke nationwide US quality registry, with final follow-up through April 15, 2017. Participants were 6756 patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion AIS treated with endovascular-reperfusion therapy with onset-to-puncture time of 8 hours or less. EXPOSURES Onset (last-known well time) to arterial puncture, and hospital arrival to arterial puncture (door-to-puncture time). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Substantial reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score 2b-3), ambulatory status, global disability (modified Rankin Scale [mRS]) and destination at discharge, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), and in-hospital mortality/hospice discharge. RESULTS Among 6756 patients, the mean (SD) age was 69.5 (14.8) years, 51.2% (3460/6756) were women, and median pretreatment score on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was 17 (IQR, 12-22). Median onset-to-puncture time was 230 minutes (IQR, 170-305) and median door-to-puncture time was 87 minutes (IQR, 62-116), with substantial reperfusion in 85.9% (5433/6324) of patients. Adverse events were sICH in 6.7% (449/6693) of patients and in-hospital mortality/hospice discharge in 19.6% (1326/6756) of patients. At discharge, 36.9% (2132/5783) ambulated independently and 23.0% (1225/5334) had functional independence (mRS 0-2). In onset-to-puncture adjusted analysis, time-outcome relationships were nonlinear with steeper slopes between 30 to 270 minutes than 271 to 480 minutes. In the 30- to 270-minute time frame, faster onset to puncture in 15-minute increments was associated with higher likelihood of achieving independent ambulation at discharge (absolute increase, 1.14% [95% CI, 0.75%-1.53%]), lower in-hospital mortality/hospice discharge (absolute decrease, -0.77% [95% CI, -1.07% to -0.47%]), and lower risk of sICH (absolute decrease, -0.22% [95% CI, -0.40% to -0.03%]). Faster door-to-puncture times were similarly associated with improved outcomes, including in the 30- to 120-minute window, higher likelihood of achieving discharge to home (absolute increase, 2.13% [95% CI, 0.81%-3.44%]) and lower in-hospital mortality/hospice discharge (absolute decrease, -1.48% [95% CI, -2.60% to -0.36%]) for each 15-minute increment. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among patients with AIS due to large vessel occlusion treated in routine clinical practice, shorter time to endovascular-reperfusion therapy was significantly associated with better outcomes. These findings support efforts to reduce time to hospital and endovascular treatment in patients with stroke.

Abstract
BackgroundThe time–benefit relationship of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) according to the size of the core infarct has been incompletely explored in prior studies. We investigated whether established infarct core size on baseline imaging modifies the relationship between onset-to-reperfusion time (OTR) and functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with EVT.MethodsWe analyzed a database containing individual patient data pooled from three prospective Solitaire stent retriever studies. The inclusion criteria were treatment with a Solitaire device and achievement of substantial reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2b–3). Main analyses were performed in patients with baseline Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Scores (ASPECTSs) of 7–10.ResultsAmong the 305 patients (mean age 67±13 years, 58% women), the proportions of patients in different categories of pretreatment infarct extent were: small (ASPECTS 9–10) 52.0%, moderate (ASPECTS 7–8) 37.1%, and large (ASPECTS 0–6) 7.6%. The mean OTR was 297±95 min. At 3 months, 60.1% of the patients achieved a good outcome. For OTRs of 2–8 hours, the rates of good outcomes at all time points were higher with higher baseline ASPECTS but declined with similar steepness. Both baseline ASPECTS (OR 1.23 (95% CI 1.04 to 1.45)) and OTR (every 30 min delay, OR 0.80 (95% CI 0.73 to 0.88)) were independently associated with a good 3-month outcome. No interaction between OTR and baseline ASPECTS was observed.ConclusionsAlthough patients with higher baseline ASPECTS are more likely to have good clinical outcomes at all OTR intervals after 2 hours, this benefit consistently declines with time, even in patients with a small infarct core, reinforcing the need to treat all patients as quickly as possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the proven benefit of neurothrombectomy, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) remains the most serious procedural complication. The aim of this analysis was to identify predictors of different hemorrhage subtypes and evaluate their individual impact on clinical outcome. METHODS Pooled individual patient-level data from three large prospective multicenter studies were analyzed for the incidence of different ICH subtypes, including any ICH, hemorrhagic transformation (HT), parenchymal hematoma (PH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). All patients (n=389) treated with the Solitaire device were included in the analysis. A multivariate stepwise logistic regression model was used to identify predictors of each hemorrhage subtype. RESULTS General anesthesia and higher baseline Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS) were associated with a lower probability of any ICH (OR 0.36, p=0.003), (OR 0.80, p=0.032) and HT (OR 0.54, p=0.023), (OR 0.78, p=0.001), respectively. Longer time from onset to treatment was associated with a higher likelihood of HT (OR 1.08, p=0.001) and PH (OR 1.11, p=0.015). Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) was also a strong predictor of PH (OR 7.63, p=0.013). Functional independence at 90 days (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2) was observed significantly less frequently in all hemorrhage subtypes except SAH. None of the patients who achieved functional independence at 90 days had sICH. CONCLUSIONS General anesthesia and smaller baseline ischemic core are associated with a lower probability of HT whereas IV-tPA and prolonged time to treatment increase the risk of PH after neurothrombectomy.

Abstract
Clinical evidence indicates that positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of GABAA receptors have analgesic benefit in addition to efficacy in anxiety disorders. However, the utility of GABAA receptor PAMs as analgesics is compromised by the central nervous system side effects of non-selective potentiators. A selective potentiator of GABAA receptors associated with α2/3 subunits, KRM-II-81(5-(8-ethynyl-6-(pyridin-2-yl)-4H-benzo[f]imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]diazepin-3-yl)oxazole), has demonstrated anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and antinociceptive effects in rodents with reduced motoric side effects. The present study evaluated the potential of KRM-II-81 as a novel analgesic. Oral administration of KRM-II-81 attenuated formalin-induced flinching; in contrast, diazepam was not active. KRM-II-81 attenuated nociceptive-associated behaviors engendered by chronic spinal nerve ligation (L5/L6). Diazepam decreased locomotion of rats at the dose tested in the formalin assay (10 mg/kg) whereas KRM-II-81 produced small decreases that were not dose-dependent (10-100 mg/kg). Plasma and brain levels of KRM-II-81 were used to demonstrate selectivity for α2/3- over α1-associated GABAA receptors and to define the degree of engagement of these receptors. Plasma and brain concentrations of KRM-II-81 were positively-associated with analgesic efficacy. GABA currents from isolated rat dorsal-root ganglion cultures were potentiated by KRM-II-81 with an ED50 of 32 nM. Measures of respiratory depression were reduced by alprazolam whereas KRM-II-81 was either inactive or produced effects with lower potency and efficacy. These findings add to the growing body of data supporting the idea that α2/3-selective GABAA receptor PAMs will have efficacy and tolerability as pain medications including those for neuropathic pain. Given their predicted anxiolytic effects, α2/3-selective GABAA receptor PAMs offer an additional inroad into the management of pain.

Abstract
Acute exacerbations of COPD is characterized by a change in the patients baseline dyspnoea, cough and/or sputum that is beyond normal day to day differences and guides to a change in standard medications in a patient with COPD. Vitamin D influences the innate & adaptive immune system, and exerts pleiotropic antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory responses. Vitamin D deficiency is frequent among COPD patients but its contributory role in disease exacerbations is widely debated. This study was aimed to assess relationship between reduced serum vitamin D (25-OHD) level with COPD severity and acute exacerbation. This observational cross-sectional study was carried out in the department of Respiratory Medicine, NIDCH, Mohakhali, Dhaka, Bangladesh from October 2016 to September 2017. Consecutive 80 hospital admitted patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease diagnosed on the basis of clinical history & pulmonary function tests and 78 age & sex matched controls were investigated for serum vitamin D (25-OHD) level. Among the COPD patients, 37% had Vitamin D deficiency (<20ng/ml) and 28.75% had Vitamin D insufficiency (20-29ng/ml). Mean vitamin D (25-OHD) level of COPD patients (25.82±10.62ngm/ml) was found to be significantly lower than healthy controls (32.57±11.32ngm/ml). Vitamin D deficiency was found, by Pearson correlation test, to be significantly associated with severity of COPD. Multivariate analysis showed that age (in years), FEV1 (percent predicted), frequent exacerbators (≥2 in the last year), and smoking (>40 pack year) were significantly associated with Vitamin D deficiency. Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients was found to have vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D deficiency was significantly associated with severity of COPD. Vitamin D deficiency was also associated with frequent disease exacerbation.

Abstract
Artificial vascular models are emerging as a newly-inexpensive and accurate way to simulate a procedure before the treatment. Through utilization of precision three-dimensionally printed, silicone-reconstructed, patient-specific models of aneurysms, we can compare the performance of devices including stents, and accurately predict the behavior of the microcatheter and stent-assisted coiling in the aneurysm to not only reduce procedural time, but also make the procedure safer. Here we report two challenging cases of wide-necked aneurysms, which could be safely treated with stent-assisted coiling as simulated in the patient-specific aneurysm models.

We performed a pooled analysis of the effect of procedural time on clinical outcomes using data from three prospective endovascular treatment trials.ObjectiveTo examine the relationship between endovascular procedural time and clinical outcomes of patients with AIS following endovascular treatment.MethodsWe analyzed data from SWIFT, STAR, and SWIFT PRIME studies, including baseline characteristics: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score on admission, intracranial hemorrhage rates, and modified Rankin Scale score at 3 months. The Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) scale was used to grade postprocedure recanalization. We recorded two procedural time intervals: (1) symptom onset to groin puncture and (2) groin puncture to angiographic recanalization. A multivariate analysis was performed using a logistic regression model to analyze predictors of unfavorable outcome.ResultsWe analyzed 301 patients who had undergone endovascular treatment and had near-complete or complete recanalization (TICI 2b or 3). At 3 months, 122 patients (40.5%) had unfavorable outcomes. The rate of favorable outcomes was significantly higher when the procedural time was <60 min compared with ≥60 min (62% vs 45%, p=0.020). Predictors of unfavorable outcome at 3 months were age (unit 10 years, OR=0.62, 95% CI 0.46 to 0.82, p<0.001), onset to groin puncture time (unit hour, OR=0.61, 95% CI 0.48 to 0.77, p<0.001), groin puncture to recanalization (unit 10 min, OR=0.89, 95% CI 0.80 to 0.99, p=0.032), baseline NIHSS score (20–28 vs 8–10, OR=0.17, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.62, p=0.018), and collaterals (OR=1.48, 95% CI 1.04 to 2.10, p=0.029).ConclusionProcedural time in patients with stroke undergoing mechanical thrombectomy may be an important determinant of favorable outcomes in those with recanalization.
