Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous questions regarding procedural details of distal stroke thrombectomy remain unanswered. This study assesses the effect of anesthetic strategies on procedural, clinical and safety outcomes following thrombectomy for distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs). METHODS Patients with isolated DMVO stroke from the TOPMOST registry were analyzed with regard to anesthetic strategies (ie, conscious sedation (CS), local (LA) or general anesthesia (GA)). Occlusions were in the P2/P3 or A2-A4 segments of the posterior and anterior cerebral arteries (PCA and ACA), respectively. The primary endpoint was the rate of complete reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score 3) and the secondary endpoint was the rate of modified Rankin Scale score 0-1. Safety endpoints were the occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality. RESULTS Overall, 233 patients were included. The median age was 75 years (range 64-82), 50.6% (n=118) were female, and the baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 8 (IQR 4-12). DMVOs were in the PCA in 59.7% (n=139) and in the ACA in 40.3% (n=94). Thrombectomy was performed under LA±CS (51.1%, n=119) and GA (48.9%, n=114). Complete reperfusion was reached in 73.9% (n=88) and 71.9% (n=82) in the LA±CS and GA groups, respectively (P=0.729). In subgroup analysis, thrombectomy for ACA DMVO favored GA over LA±CS (aOR 3.07, 95% CI 1.24 to 7.57, P=0.015). Rates of secondary and safety outcomes were similar in the LA±CS and GA groups. CONCLUSION LA±CS compared with GA resulted in similar reperfusion rates after thrombectomy for DMVO stroke of the ACA and PCA. GA may facilitate achieving complete reperfusion in DMVO stroke of the ACA. Safety and functional long-term outcomes were comparable in both groups.

Abstract
Determining the optimal transportation for each stroke patient is critically important to achieve the best possible outcomes. In border regions the next comprehensive stroke center may be just across an international border, but bureaucratic and financial hurdles may prevent a simple transfer to the next stroke center. We hypothesized that in regions close to international borders, patients may benefit from an "open border, closed transfer scenario", meaning that patients in whom a large vessel occlusion (LVO) is detected in the primary stroke center will benefit from a transfer to the nearest stroke center offering endovascular thrombectomy-even if this may be across a national border. We used the Swiss-German-French trinational region as an example for a region with several international borders within close proximity to one another, and compared two feasible scenarios; (a) a "closed borders, open transfer" scenario, where the patient is transported to any center in the same country, (b) an "open border, closed transfer" scenario, where patients are always transported to the nearby primary stroke center first and then to the nearest comprehensive stroke center in either the same or a neighboring country and (c) and "open borders, open transfer" scenario. The outcome of interest was the predicted probability of acute ischemic stroke patients to achieve a good outcome using a conditional probability model which predicts the likelihood of excellent outcome (modified Rankin scale score of 0-1 at 90 days post-stroke) for patients with suspected LVO. Results were modeled in a virtual map from which the ideal transport concept emerged. For an exemplary LVO stroke patient in Germany, the probability of a good outcome was higher in an open border, closed transfer scenario than with closed borders, open transfer (33.1 vs. 30.1%). Moreover, time to EVT would decrease from 232 min in the first scenario to 169 min in an open border, closed transfer scenario. The catchment area of the University Hospital Basel was almost double the size in an open border, closed transfer scenario compared to closed borders (1674 km2 vs. 2897 km2) and would receive transfers from 3 primary stroke centers in other countries (2 in Germany and 1 in France). Stroke patients showed a higher likelihood of good outcome in the "open border" scenarios without transfer restrictions to a specific healthcare system. This probably has implications for stroke treatment in all border regions where EVT eligible stroke patients may benefit from transport to the closest EVT capable center whenever possible, regardless of whether this hospital is located in the same or a neighboring country/jurisdiction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rescue intracranial stenting (RIS) can be used in refractory large vessel occlusion (LVO) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of RIS versus a propensity matched sample of patients with persistent LVO. METHODS We retrospectively analysed a multicenter retrospective pooled cohort of patients with anterior LVO (2015-2021) treated with MT, and identified patients with at least three passes and a modified Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) score of 0 to 2a. Propensity score matching was used to account for determinants of outcome in patients with or without RIS. The study outcomes included 3 months modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (HT). RESULTS 420 patients with a refractory anterior occlusion were included, of which 101 were treated with RIS (mean age 69 years). Favorable outcome (mRS 0-2) was more frequent in patients with a patent stent at day 1 (53% vs 6%, P<0.001), which was independently associated with an early dual antiplatelet regimen (P<0.05). In the propensity matched sample, patients treated with RIS versus without RIS had similar rates of favorable outcomes (36.8% vs 30.3%, P=0.606). Patients with RIS showed a favorable shift in the overall mRS distributions (common adjusted OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.91, P=0.006). Symptomatic HT was marginally more frequent in the RIS group (9% vs 3%, P=0.07), and there was no difference in 3-month mortality. CONCLUSION In selected patients with a refractory intracranial occlusion despite at least three thrombectomy passes, RIS may be associated with an overall shift towards more favorable clinical outcome, and no significant increase in the odds of symptomatic HT or death.

Abstract
Purpose To describe a novel ultrasound-guided technique for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of vascular malformations-the "moving shot technique." Methods Preliminary observational cohort study, conducted from June 1, 2019, to January 31, 2021, including all consecutive patients diagnosed with vascular malformations who were treated with ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation using the moving shot technique. Only patients who had undergone at least one unsuccessful previous treatment were included (sclerotherapy with ethanol/aethoxysklerol or embolization/surgery). Results Eight patients with a median age of 22 years (interquartile range, 13-31) were included. Patients had different vascular malformations consisting of 1 arteriovenous malformation, 4 venous malformations, and 1 each a mixed venous-lymphatic malformation, a glomuvenous malformation and a FAVA (fibroadipose vascular anomaly). Malformations were located at the limbs in 5 patients (62.5%), the subcutaneous/intramuscular tissue of the body in 2 patients (25%) and at the chin in 1 patient (12.5%). Clinical symptoms were pain in 8 patients (100%), swelling in 6 patients (75%), and partial immobility in 4 patients (50%). All patients showed an improvement of clinical symptoms after treatment with 7 (87.5%) being completely asymptomatic and 1 (12.5%) showing improvement of immobility and pain. No procedural complications, such as nerve damage or skin burns occurred. Conclusion The moving shot technique using ultrasonography-guided radiofrequency ablation is a promising technique for the interventional treatment of vascular malformations and should be validated in multicenter-approaches.

Abstract
Background and purpose Automated perfusion imaging can detect stroke patients with unknown time of symptom onset who are eligible for thrombolysis. However, the availability of this technique is limited. We, therefore, established the novel concept of computed tomography (CT) hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch, i.e., an ischemic core lesion visible on cerebral perfusion CT without visible hypodensity in the corresponding native cerebral CT. We compared both methods regarding their accuracy in identifying patients suitable for thrombolysis. Methods In a retrospective analysis of the MissPerfeCT observational cohort study, patients were classified as suitable or not for thrombolysis based on established time window and imaging criteria. We calculated predictive values for hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch and automated perfusion imaging to compare accuracy in the identification of patients suitable for thrombolysis. Results Of 247 patients, 219 (88.7%) were eligible for thrombolysis and 28 (11.3%) were not eligible for thrombolysis. Of 197 patients who were within 4.5 h of symptom onset, 190 (96.4%) were identified by hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch and 88 (44.7%) by automated perfusion mismatch (p < 0.001). Of 22 patients who were beyond 4.5 h of symptom onset but were eligible for thrombolysis, 5 patients (22.7%) were identified by hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch. Predictive values for the hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch vs. automated perfusion mismatch were as follows: sensitivity, 89.0% vs. 50.2%; specificity, 71.4% vs. 100.0%; positive predictive value, 96.1% vs. 100.0%; and negative predictive value, 45.5% vs. 20.4%. Conclusion The novel method of hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch can identify patients suitable for thrombolysis with higher sensitivity and lower specificity than established techniques. Using this simple method might therefore increase the proportion of patients treated with thrombolysis without the use of special automated software.The MissPerfeCT study is a retrospective observational multicenter cohort study and is registered with clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04277728).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers are robust predictors of parenchymal hematoma expansion in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We investigated whether NCCT features can also identify ICH patients at risk of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) growth. METHODS Patients with acute spontaneous ICH admitted at four tertiary centers in Germany and Italy were retrospectively included from January 2017 to June 2020. NCCT markers were rated by two investigators for heterogeneous density, hypodensity, black hole sign, swirl sign, blend sign, fluid level, island sign, satellite sign, and irregular shape. ICH and IVH volumes were semi-manually segmented. IVH growth was defined as IVH expansion > 1 mL (eIVH) or any delayed IVH (dIVH) on follow-up imaging. Predictors of eIVH and dIVH were explored with multivariable logistic regression. Hypothesized moderators and mediators were independently assessed in PROCESS macro models. RESULTS A total of 731 patients were included, of whom 185 (25.31%) suffered from IVH growth, 130 (17.78%) had eIVH, and 55 (7.52%) had dIVH. Irregular shape was significantly associated with IVH growth (OR 1.68; 95%CI [1.16-2.44]; p = 0.006). In the subgroup analysis stratified by the IVH growth type, hypodensities were significantly associated with eIVH (OR 2.06; 95%CI [1.48-2.64]; p = 0.015), whereas irregular shape (OR 2.72; 95%CI [1.91-3.53]; p = 0.016) in dIVH. The association between NCCT markers and IVH growth was not mediated by parenchymal hematoma expansion. CONCLUSIONS NCCT features identified ICH patients at a high risk of IVH growth. Our findings suggest the possibility to stratify the risk of IVH growth with baseline NCCT and might inform ongoing and future studies. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Non-contrast CT features identified ICH patients at a high risk of intraventricular hemorrhage growth with subtype-specific differences. Our findings may assist in the risk stratification of intraventricular hemorrhage growth with baseline CT and might inform ongoing and future clinical studies. KEY POINTS • NCCT features identified ICH patients at a high risk of IVH growth with subtype-specific differences. • The effect of NCCT features was not moderated by time and location or indirectly mediated by hematoma expansion. • Our findings may assist in the risk stratification of IVH growth with baseline NCCT and might inform ongoing and future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aneurysm location is a key element in predicting the rupture risk of an intracranial aneurysm. A common impression suggests that pure ophthalmic aneurysms are under-represented in ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs). The purpose of this study was to specifically evaluate the risk of rupture of ophthalmic aneurysms compared with other aneurysm locations. METHODS This multicenter study compared the frequency of ophthalmic aneurysms in a prospective cohort of RIAs admitted to 13 neuroradiology centers between January 2021 and March 2021, with a retrospective cohort of patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) who underwent cerebral angiography at the same neuroradiology centers during the same time period. RESULTS 604 intracranial aneurysms were included in this study (355 UIAs and 249 RIAs; mean age 57 years (IQR 49-65); women 309/486, 64%). Mean aneurysm size was 6.0 mm (5.3 mm for UIAs, 7.0 mm for RIAs; P<0.0001). Aneurysm shape was irregular for 37% UIAs and 73% RIAs (P<0.0001). Ophthalmic aneurysms frequency was 14.9% of UIAs (second most common aneurysm location) and 1.2% of RIAs (second least common aneurysm location; OR 0.07 (95% CI 0.02 to 0.23), P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Ophthalmic aneurysms seem to have a low risk of rupture compared with other intracranial aneurysm locations. This calls for a re-evaluation of the benefit-risk balance when considering preventive treatment for ophthalmic aneurysms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute intracranial large vessel occlusion (LVO) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among children; however, unlike in adults, no clinical trial has investigated the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in pediatric LVO. Thus, MT remains an off-label procedure for pediatric stroke. PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy and safety of MT in pediatric LVO. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials databases. Studies reporting safety and efficacy outcomes for endovascular treatment of pediatric LVO were included. Data regarding recanalization, functional outcome, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), and mortality were extracted from the included studies. Functional outcome was assessed with the modified Rankin scale (mRS). A fixed or random-effects model was used to calculate pooled event rates and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS In this study 11 studies comprising 215 patients were included. The successful recanalization rate was 90.3% (95% CI = 85.77-95.11%), and complete recanalization was achieved in 52.7% (95% CI = 45.09-61.62%) of the cases. The favorable (mRS = 0-2) and excellent (mRS = 0-1) outcome rates were 83.3% (95% CI = 73.54-94.50%) and 59.5% (95% CI = 44.24-80.06%), respectively. The overall sICH prevalence was 0.59% (95% CI = 0-3.30%) and mortality rate was 3.2% (95% CI = 0.55-7.38%). CONCLUSION In our meta-analysis, MT demonstrated a promising safety and efficacy profile for pediatric patients, with consistently high efficacy outcomes and low complication rates. Our results support the utilization of MT in pediatric LVOs; however, prospective studies are still needed to further establish the role of pediatric MT as a first-line treatment strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has proven to be the standard of care for patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO). However, high revascularization rates do not necessarily result in favorable functional outcomes. We aimed to investigate imaging biomarkers associated with futile recanalization, defined as unfavorable functional outcome despite successful recanalization in AIS-LVO patients. METHODS A retrospective multicenter cohort study was made of AIS-LVO patients treated by MT. Successful recanalization was defined as modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score of 2b-3. A modified Rankin Scale score of 3-6 at 90 days was defined as unfavorable functional outcome. Cortical Vein Opacification Score (COVES) was used to assess venous outflow (VO), and the Tan scale was utilized to determine pial arterial collaterals on admission computed tomography angiography (CTA). Unfavorable VO was defined as COVES ≤ 2. Multivariable regression analysis was performed to investigate vascular imaging factors associated with futile recanalization. RESULTS Among 539 patients in whom successful recanalization was achieved, unfavorable functional outcome was observed in 59% of patients. Fifty-eight percent of patients had unfavorable VO, and 31% exhibited poor pial arterial collaterals. In multivariable regression, unfavorable VO was a strong predictor (adjusted odds ratio = 4.79, 95% confidence interval = 2.48-9.23) of unfavorable functional outcome despite successful recanalization. CONCLUSIONS We observe that unfavorable VO on admission CTA is a strong predictor of unfavorable functional outcomes despite successful vessel recanalization in AIS-LVO patients. Assessment of VO profiles could help as a pretreatment imaging biomarker to determine patients at risk for futile recanalization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality after intracranial aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Vasospasm detection, prevention and management, especially endovascular management varies from center to center and lacks standardization. We aimed to evaluate this variability via an international survey of how neurointerventionalists approach vasospasm diagnosis and endovascular management. METHODS We designed an anonymous online survey with 100 questions to evaluate practice patterns between December 2021 and September 2022. We contacted endovascular neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists and neurologists via email and via two professional societies - the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) and the European Society of Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy (ESMINT). We recorded the physicians' responses to the survey questions. RESULTS A total of 201 physicians (25% [50/201] USA and 75% non-USA) completed the survey over 10 months, 42% had >7 years of experience, 92% were male, median age was 40 (IQR 35-46). Both high-volume and low-volume centers were represented. Daily transcranial Doppler was the most common screening method (75%) for vasospasm. In cases of symptomatic vasospasm despite optimal medical management, endovascular treatment was directly considered by 58% of physicians. The most common reason to initiate endovascular treatment was clinical deficits associated with proven vasospasm/DCI in 89%. The choice of endovascular treatment and its efficacy was highly variable. Nimodipine was the most common first-line intra-arterial therapy (40%). Mechanical angioplasty was considered the most effective endovascular treatment by 65% of neurointerventionalists. CONCLUSION Our study highlights the considerable heterogeneity among the neurointerventional community regarding vasospasm diagnosis and endovascular management. Randomized trials and guidelines are needed to improve standard of care, determine optimal management approaches and track outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has a high mortality and long-term morbidity and thus has a significant overall health–economic impact. Outcomes are especially poor if the exact onset is unknown, but reliable imaging-based methods for onset estimation have not been established. We hypothesized that onset prediction of patients with ICH using artificial intelligence (AI) may be more accurate than human readers. Material and Methods: A total of 7421 computed tomography (CT) datasets between January 2007–July 2021 from the University Hospital Basel with confirmed ICH were extracted and an ICH-segmentation algorithm as well as two classifiers (one with radiomics, one with convolutional neural networks) for onset estimation were trained. The classifiers were trained based on the gold standard of 644 datasets with a known onset of >1 and <48 h. The results of the classifiers were compared to the ratings of two radiologists. Results: Both the AI-based classifiers and the radiologists had poor discrimination of the known onsets, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 9.77 h (95% CI (confidence interval) = 8.52–11.03) for the convolutional neural network (CNN), 9.96 h (8.68–11.32) for the radiomics model, 13.38 h (11.21–15.74) for rater 1 and 11.21 h (9.61–12.90) for rater 2, respectively. The results of the CNN and radiomics model were both not significantly different to the mean of the known onsets (p = 0.705 and p = 0.423). Conclusions: In our study, the discriminatory power of AI-based classifiers and human readers for onset estimation of patients with ICH was poor. This indicates that accurate AI-based onset estimation of patients with ICH based only on CT-data may be unlikely to change clinical decision making in the near future. Perhaps multimodal AI-based approaches could improve ICH onset prediction and should be considered in future studies.

Hyperacute Perfusion Imaging Before Pediatric Thrombectomy: Analysis of the Save ChildS Study. Neurology 2023; 100:e1148-e1158.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Perfusion imaging can identify adult patients with salvageable brain tissue who would benefit from thrombectomy in later time windows. The feasibility of obtaining hyperacute perfusion sequences in pediatric stroke is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether contrast perfusion imaging delayed time to treatment and to assess perfusion profiles in children with large vessel occlusion stroke. METHODS The Save ChildS retrospective cohort study (January 2000-December 2018) enrolled children (1 month-18 years) with stroke who underwent thrombectomy from 27 European and U.S. stroke centers. This secondary analysis included patients with anterior circulation occlusion and available imaging for direct review by the neuroimaging core laboratory. Between-group comparisons were performed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum exact test for continuous variables or Fisher exact test for binary variables. Given the small number of patients, evaluation of perfusion imaging parameters was performed descriptively only. RESULTS Of 33 patients with available neuroimaging, 15 (45.4%) underwent perfusion (CT perfusion n = 6; MR perfusion n = 9); all were technically adequate. The median time from onset to recanalization did not differ between groups {4 hours (interquartile range [IQR] 4-7.5) perfusion+; 3.4 hours (IQR 2.5-6.5) perfusion-, p = 0.158}. Target mismatch criteria were met by 10/15 (66.7%) patients and did not correlate with reperfusion status or functional outcome. The hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR) was favorable in 11/15 patients and correlated with older age but not NIHSS, time to recanalization, or stroke etiology. Favorable HIR was associated with better functional outcome at 6 months (Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure 1.0 [IQR 0.5-2.0] vs 2.0 [1.5-3.0], p = 0.026) and modified Rankin Scale 1.0 [0-1] vs 2.0 [1.5-3.5], p = 0.048) in this small sample. DISCUSSION Automated perfusion imaging is feasible to obtain acutely in children and does not delay time to recanalization. Larger prospective studies are needed to determine biomarkers of favorable outcome in pediatric ischemic stroke and to establish core and penumbral thresholds in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We assessed the efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in adult stroke patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion presenting in the late time window not fulfilling the DEFUSE-3 (Thrombectomy for Stroke at 6 to 16 Hours With Selection by Perfusion Imaging trial) and DAWN (Thrombectomy 6 to 24 Hours After Stroke With a Mismatch Between Deficit and Infarct trial) inclusion criteria. METHODS Cohort study of adults with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion admitted between 6 and 24 hours after last-seen-well at 5 participating Swiss stroke centers between 2014 and 2021. Mismatch was assessed by computer tomography or magnetic resonance imaging perfusion with automated software (RAPID or OLEA). We excluded patients meeting DEFUSE-3 and DAWN inclusion criteria and compared those who underwent MT with those receiving best medical treatment alone by inverse probability of treatment weighting using the propensity score. The primary efficacy end point was a favorable functional outcome at 90 days, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score shift toward lower categories. The primary safety end point was symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 7 days of stroke onset; the secondary was all-cause mortality within 90 days. RESULTS Among 278 patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion presenting in the late time window, 190 (68%) did not meet the DEFUSE-3 and DAWN inclusion criteria and thus were included in the analyses. Of those, 102 (54%) received MT. In the inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis, patients in the MT group had higher odds of favorable outcomes compared with the best medical treatment alone group (modified Rankin Scale shift: acOR, 1.46 [1.02-2.10]; P=0.04) and lower odds of all-cause mortality within 90 days (aOR, 0.59 [0.37-0.93]; P=0.02). There were no significant differences in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (MT versus best medical treatment alone: 5% versus 2%, P=0.63). CONCLUSIONS Two out of 3 patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion presenting in the late time window did not meet the DEFUSE-3 and DAWN inclusion criteria. In these patients, MT was associated with higher odds of favorable functional outcomes without increased rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. These findings support the enrollment of patients into ongoing randomized trials on MT in the late window with more permissive inclusion criteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND About 25% of patients with intracranial meningioma display seizures at the time of initial presentation. Hence, identification of risk factors for preoperative seizures is crucial during perioperative care of meningioma patients. METHODS Associations of preoperative seizures with clinical, radiological and histological variables were analyzed in 945 patients (689 females, 73% and 256 males, 27%; median age: 58 years) who underwent surgery for primary diagnosed intracranial meningioma. RESULTS Preoperative seizures were found in 189 patients (20%). In univariate analyses, male gender (OR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.37-2.68; P<0.001), grade II/III histology (OR=2.24, 95% CI: 1.46-3.46; P<0.001), brain invasion (OR=2.59, 95% CI: 1.45-4.63; P=001), non-skull base tumor location (OR=3.07, 95% CI: 2.13-4.41; P<0.001), heterogeneous contrast-enhancement (OR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.04-2.46; P=0.031), intratumoral calcifications (OR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.17-3.10; P=0.009), an irregular shape (OR=2.07, 95% CI: 1.32-3.26; P=0.002) as well as tumor (OR=1.01 per ccm, 95% CI: 1.00-1.02; P=0.001) and edema volumes (OR=1.01 per ccm, 95% CI: 1.00-1.01; P<0.001) were correlated with seizures. Semiology was not related to any of the analyzed variables (P>0.05, each). No associations were found between seizures and histological subtype of 832 grade I meningiomas (P=0.391). In multivariate analyses, only non-skull base tumor location (OR=3.12, 95% CI: 1.74-5.59; P<0.001) and a rising peritumoral edema volume (OR=1.01 per ccm, 95% CI: 1.00-1.01; P<0.001) were identified as independent predictors for preoperative seizures. CONCLUSIONS Several mostly radiological variables were identified as risk factors for epilepsy. However, multivariate analyses confirmed only peritumoral edema and non-skull base tumor location as independent predictors for preoperative seizures. None of the variables predicts semiology.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Experimental stroke studies suggest an influence of the time of day of stroke onset on infarct progression. Whether this holds true after human stroke is unknown, but would have implications for the design of randomised controlled trials, especially those on neuroprotection. METHODS We pooled data from 583 patients with anterior large-vessel occlusion stroke from three prospectively recruited cohorts. Ischaemic core and penumbra volumes were determined with CT perfusion using automated thresholds. Core growth was calculated as the ratio of core volume and onset-to-imaging time. To determine circadian rhythmicity, we applied multivariable linear and sinusoidal regression analysis adjusting for potential baseline confounders. RESULTS Patients with symptom onset at night showed larger ischaemic core volumes on admission compared with patients with onset during the day (median, 40.2 mL vs 33.8 mL), also in adjusted analyses (p=0.008). Sinusoidal analysis indicated a peak of core volumes with onset at 11pm. Core growth was faster at night compared with day onset (adjusted p=0.01), especially for shorter onset-to-imaging times. In contrast, penumbra volumes did not change across the 24-hour cycle. DISCUSSION These results suggest that human infarct progression varies across the 24-hour cycle with potential implications for the design and interpretation of neuroprotection trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) as rare diseases are diagnostically and therapeutically challenging. Due to the limited evidence regarding treatment outcome, prospective data are needed on how different treatment regimens affect outcome. The aims of this prospective trial are to determine effectiveness, safety, and clinical outcome of multimodal treatment in patients with extracranial AVMs. MATERIALS AND METHODS After clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based diagnosis and informed consent, 146 patients (> 4 years and < 70 years) undergoing multimodal therapy in tertiary care vascular anomalies centers will be included in this prospective observational trial. Treatment options include conservative management, medical therapy, minimally invasive image-guided procedures (embolization, sclerotherapy) and surgery as well as combinations of the latter. The primary outcome is the patient-reported QoL 6 months after completion of treatment using the short form-36 health survey version 2 (SF-36v2) and the corresponding short form-10 health survey (SF-10) for children. In addition, clinical presentation (physician-reported signs), MRI imaging (radiological assessment of devascularization), recurrence rate, and therapeutic safety will be analyzed. Further follow-up will be performed after 12, 24, and 36 months. Moreover, liquid biopsies are being obtained from peripheral blood at multiple time points to investigate potential biomarkers for therapy response and disease progression. DISCUSSION The APOLLON trial is a prospective, multicenter, observational open-label trial with unequal study groups to generate prospective evidence for multimodal treatment of AVMs. A multicenter design with the potential to assess larger populations will provide an increased understanding of multimodal therapy outcome in this orphan disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantitative lesion net water uptake (NWU) has been described as an imaging biomarker reflecting vasogenic edema as an early indicator of infarct progression. We hypothesized that edema formation measured by NWU is higher in children compared to adults but despite this functional outcome may be better in children. METHODS This study analyzed children enrolled in the Save ChildS Study who had baseline and follow-up computed tomography available and the data were compared to adult patients. RESULTS Some 207 patients, of whom 13 were children and 194 were adults, were analyzed. Median NWU at baseline was 7.8% (IQR: 4.3-11.3), and there were no significant differences between children and adults (7.5% vs. 7.8%; p = 0.87). The early edema progression rate was 3.0%/h in children and 2.3%/h in adults. Median ΔNWU was 15.1% in children and 10.5% in adults. Children had significantly more often excellent (mRS 0-1; children 10/13 = 77% vs. adults 28/196 = 14%; p < 0.0001) and favorable clinical outcomes (mRS 0-2, 12/13 = 92% vs. 39/196 = 20%; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS In this study, clinical outcomes in children with large vessel occlusion strokes were better than in adults despite similar clinical and imaging characteristics and similar edema formation. This may be impacted by the generally better outcomes of children after strokes but may demonstrate that the degree of early ischemic changes using Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) and edema progression rate may not be a reason for exclusion from endovascular thrombectomy.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the safety and outcome of image-guided sclerotherapy for treating venous malformations (VMs) of the face. Materials and methods A multicenter cohort of 68 patients with VMs primarily affecting the face was retrospectively investigated. In total, 142 image-guided sclerotherapies were performed using gelified ethanol and/or polidocanol. Clinical and imaging findings were assessed to evaluate clinical response, lesion size reduction, and complication rates. Sub-analyses of complication rates depending on type and injected volume of the sclerosant as well as of pediatric versus adult patient groups were conducted. Results Mean number of procedures per patient was 2.1 (±1.7) and mean follow-up consisted of 8.7 months (±6.8 months). Clinical response (n = 58) revealed a partial relief of symptoms in 70.7% (41/58), 13/58 patients (22.4%) presented symptom-free while only 4/58 patients (6.9%) reported no improvement. Post-treatment imaging (n = 52) revealed an overall objective response rate of 86.5% (45/52). The total complication rate was 10.6% (15/142) including 4.2% (7/142) major complications, mostly (14/15, 93.3%) resolved by conservative means. In one case, a mild facial palsy persisted over time. The complication rate in the gelified ethanol subgroup was significantly higher compared to polidocanol and to the combination of both sclerosants (23.5 vs. 6.0 vs. 8.3%, p = 0.01). No significant differences in complications between the pediatric and the adult subgroup were observed (12.1 vs. 9.2%, p = 0.57). Clinical response did not correlate with lesion size reduction on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Conclusion Image-guided sclerotherapy is effective for treating VMs of the face. Clinical response is not necessarily associated with size reduction on imaging. Despite the complex anatomy of this location, the procedures are safe for both adults and children.

Abstract
Mechanical thrombectomy for distal, medium vessel occlusions is gaining importance and increasingly performed. However, there is an ongoing debate on selection criteria for thrombectomy and the best techniques for fast and effective complete reperfusion. Here, we present a case where we use a combination of a stent retriever and aspration catheter for a distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (M3-segment). The aspiration catheter was advanced over the wire of the stent-retriever after deployment - but not using a blind exchange with the mini-pinning technique as previously described. Instead, a new extension wire to the stent retriever was used to advance the aspiration catheter safely. This technique can be important in the near future as distal occlusions will be treated more regularly and trials randomizing patients with distal occlusions such as the Distal trial are underway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MCA aneurysms are still commonly clipped surgically despite the recent development of a number of endovascular tools and techniques. We measured clinical uncertainty by studying the reliability of decisions made for patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A portfolio of 60 MCA aneurysms was presented to surgical and endovascular specialists who were asked whether they considered surgery or endovascular treatment to be an option, whether they would consider recruitment of the patient in a randomized trial, and whether they would provide their final management recommendation. Agreement was studied using κ statistics. Intrarater reliability was assessed with the same, permuted portfolio of cases of MCA aneurysm sent to the same specialists 1 month later. RESULTS Surgical management was the preferred option for neurosurgeons (n = 844/1320; [64%] responses/22 raters), while endovascular treatment was more commonly chosen by interventional neuroradiologists (1149/1500 [76.6%] responses/25 raters). Interrater agreement was only "slight" for all cases and all judges (κ = 0.094; 95% CI, 0.068-0.130). Agreement was no better within specialties or with more experience. On delayed requestioning, 11 of 35 raters (31%) disagreed with themselves on at least 20% of cases. Surgical management and endovascular treatment were always judged to be a treatment option, for all patients. Trial participation was offered to patients 65% of the time. CONCLUSIONS Individual clinicians did not agree regarding the best management of patients with MCA aneurysms. A randomized trial comparing endovascular with surgical management of patients with MCA aneurysms is in order.

Abstract
Background and Purpose Many patients with stroke cannot receive intravenous thrombolysis because the time of symptom onset is unknown. We tested whether a simple method of computed tomography (CT)-based quantification of water uptake in the ischemic tissue can identify patients with stroke onset within 4.5 hours. Methods This retrospective analysis of the MissPerfeCT study (August 2009 to November 2017) includes consecutive patients with known onset of symptoms from seven tertiary stroke centers. We developed a simplified algorithm based on region of interest (ROI) measurements to quantify water uptake of the ischemic lesion and thereby quantify time of symptom onset within and beyond 4.5 hours. Perfusion CT was used to identify ischemic brain tissue, and its density was measured in non-contrast CT and related to the density of the corresponding area of the contralateral hemisphere to quantify lesion water uptake. Results Of 263 patients, 204 (77.6%) had CT within 4.5 hours. Water uptake was significantly lower in patients with stroke onset within (6.7%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 6.0% to 7.4%) compared to beyond 4.5 hours (12.7%; 95% CI, 10.7% to 14.7%). The area under the curve for distinguishing these patient groups according to percentage water uptake was 0.744 with an optimal cut-off value of 9.5%. According to this cut-off the positive predictive value was 88.8%, sensitivity was 73.5%, specificity 67.8%, negative predictive value was 42.6%. Conclusions Ischemic stroke patients with unknown time of symptom onset can be identified as being within a timeframe of 4.5 hours using a ROI-based method to assess water uptake on admission non-contrast head CT.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the safety and outcome of image-guided embolotherapy of extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) primarily affecting the face. Materials and Methods A multicenter cohort of 28 patients presenting with AVMs primarily affecting the face was retrospectively investigated. Fifty image-guided embolotherapies were performed, mostly using ethylene–vinyl alcohol copolymer-based embolic agents. Clinical and imaging findings were assessed to evaluate response during follow-up (symptom-free, partial relief of symptoms, no improvement, and progression despite embolization), lesion devascularization (total, 100%; substantial, 76–99%; partial, 51–75%; failure, < 50%; and progression), and complication rates (classified according to the CIRSE guidelines). Sub-analyses regarding clinical outcome (n = 24) were performed comparing patients with (n = 12) or without (n = 12) subsequent surgical resection after embolotherapy. Results The median number of embolotherapy sessions was 2.0 (range, 1–4). Clinical outcome after a mean follow-up of 12.4 months (± 13.3; n = 24) revealed a therapy response in 21/24 patients (87.5%). Imaging showed total devascularization in 14/24 patients (58.3%), including the 12 patients with subsequent surgery and 2 additional patients with embolotherapy only. Substantial devascularization (76–99%) was assessed in 7/24 patients (29.2%), and partial devascularization (51–75%) in 3/24 patients (12.5%). Complications occurred during/after 12/50 procedures (24.0%), including 18.0% major complications. Patients with subsequent surgical resections were more often symptom-free at the last follow-up compared to the group having undergone embolotherapy only (p = 0.006). Conclusion Image-guided embolotherapy is safe and effective for treating extracranial AVMs of the face. Subsequent surgical resections after embolization may substantially improve patients’ clinical outcome, emphasizing the need for multimodal therapeutic concepts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Geometrical parameters, including arterial bifurcation angle, tortuosity, and arterial diameters, have been associated with the pathophysiology of intracranial aneurysm (IA) formation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether these parameters were present before or if they resulted from IA formation and growth. METHODS Patients from nine academic centers were retrospectively identified if they presented with a de novo IA or a significant IA growth on subsequent imaging. For each patient, geometrical parameters were extracted using a semi-automated algorithm and compared between bifurcations with IA formation or growth (aneurysmal group), and their contralateral side without IA (control group). These parameters were compared at two different times using univariable models, multivariable models, and a sensitivity analysis with paired comparison. RESULTS 46 patients were included with 21 de novo IAs (46%) and 25 significant IA growths (54%). The initial angle was not different between the aneurysmal and control groups (129.7±42.1 vs 119.8±34.3; p=0.264) but was significantly wider at the final stage (140.4±40.9 vs 121.5±34.1; p=0.032), with a more important widening of the aneurysmal angle (10.8±15.8 vs 1.78±7.38; p=0.001). Variations in other parameters were not significant. These results were confirmed by paired comparisons. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that wider bifurcation angles that have long been deemed causal factors for IA formation or growth may be secondary to IA formation at pathologic bifurcation sites. This finding has implications for our understanding of IA formation pathophysiology.

Abstract
Extracranial vascular malformations vary greatly and belong to the complex field of orphan diseases and can involve all segments of the vascular tree: arteries, capillaries, and veins, and similarly the lymphatic system. The classification according to the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) represents an important guidance for selecting appropriate therapy. Although many of the principles of endovascular treatment, including image-guided sclerotherapy and embolization, are similar in adult and pediatric practice, there are some distinct differences regarding the treatment of vascular malformations of children. Thus, it is crucial to involve longer-term plan about managing these chronic diseases and their impact on a growing child. This review provides a detailed overview over the clinical presentation of venous, lymphatic, and arteriovenous malformations in children and emphasizes the specifics of their interventional treatment options, including distinct pediatric dose limitations and procedure-related side effects.

Abstract
Stroke is an important cause of neurological morbidity in children; most survivors have permanent neurological deficits that affect the remainder of their life. Stroke in childhood, the focus of this Primer, is distinguished from perinatal stroke, defined as stroke before 29 days of age, because of its unique pathogenesis reflecting the maternal-fetal unit. Although approximately 15% of strokes in adults are haemorrhagic, half of incident strokes in children are haemorrhagic and half are ischaemic. The causes of childhood stroke are distinct from those in adults. Urgent brain imaging is essential to confirm the stroke diagnosis and guide decisions about hyperacute therapies. Secondary stroke prevention strongly depends on the underlying aetiology. While the past decade has seen substantial advances in paediatric stroke research, the quality of evidence for interventions, such as the rapid reperfusion therapies that have revolutionized arterial ischaemic stroke care in adults, remains low. Substantial time delays in diagnosis and treatment continue to challenge best possible care. Effective primary stroke prevention strategies in children with sickle cell disease represent a major success, yet barriers to implementation persist. The multidisciplinary members of the International Pediatric Stroke Organization are coordinating global efforts to tackle these challenges and improve the outcomes in children with cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
Background and Purpose The Save ChildS Study demonstrated that endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a safe treatment option for pediatric stroke patients with large vessel occlusions (LVOs) with high recanalization rates. Our aim was to determine the long-term cost, health consequences and cost-effectiveness of EVT in this patient population.
Methods In this retrospective study, a decision-analytic Markov model estimated lifetime costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Early outcome parameters were based on the entire Save ChildS Study to model the EVT group. As no randomized data exist, the Save ChildS patient subgroup with unsuccessful recanalization was used to model the standard of care group. For modeling of lifetime estimates, pediatric and adult input parameters were obtained from the current literature. The analysis was conducted in a United States setting applying healthcare and societal perspectives. Probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. The willingness-to-pay threshold was set to $100,000 per QALY.
Results The model results yielded EVT as the dominant (cost-effective as well as cost-saving) strategy for pediatric stroke patients. The incremental effectiveness for the average age of 11.3 years at first stroke in the Save ChildS Study was determined as an additional 4.02 lifetime QALYs, with lifetime cost-savings that amounted to $169,982 from a healthcare perspective and $254,110 when applying a societal perspective. Acceptability rates for EVT were 96.60% and 96.66% for the healthcare and societal perspectives.
Conclusions EVT for pediatric stroke patients with LVOs resulted in added QALY and reduced lifetime costs. Based on the available data in the Save ChildS Study, EVT is very likely to be a cost-effective treatment strategy for childhood stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Robust cerebrovascular collaterals in adult patients with large vessel occlusion stroke have been associated with longer treatment windows, better recanalization rates, and improved outcomes, but the role of collaterals in pediatric stroke is not known. The primary aim was to determine whether favorable collaterals correlated with better radiographic and clinical outcomes in children with ischemic stroke who underwent thrombectomy. METHODS This study analyzed a subset of children enrolled in SaveChildS, a retrospective, multicenter, observational cohort study of 73 pediatric patients with stroke who underwent thrombectomy between 2000 and 2018 at 27 US and European centers. Included patients had baseline angiographic imaging and follow-up modified Rankin Scale scores available for review. Posterior circulation occlusions were excluded. Cerebrovascular collaterals were graded on acute neuroimaging by 2 blinded neuroradiologists according to the Tan collateral score, in which favorable collaterals are defined as >50% filling and unfavorable collaterals as <50% filling distal to the occluded vessel. Collateral status was correlated with clinical and neuroimaging characteristics and outcomes. Between-group comparisons were performed with the Wilcoxon rank-sum test for continuous variables or Fisher exact test for binary variables. RESULTS Thirty-three children (mean age 10.9 [SD ±4.9]) years were included; 14 (42.4%) had favorable collaterals. Median final stroke volume as a percent of total brain volume (TBV) was significantly lower in patients with favorable collaterals (1.35% [interquartile range (IQR) 1.14%-3.76%] vs 7.86% [IQR 1.54%-11.07%], p = 0.049). Collateral status did not correlate with clinical outcome, infarct growth, or final Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) in our cohort. Patients with favorable collaterals had higher baseline ASPECTS (7 [IQR 6-8] vs 5.5 [4-6], p = 0.006), smaller baseline ischemic volume (1.57% TBV [IQR 1.09%-2.29%] vs 3.42% TBV [IQR 1.26%-5.33%], p = 0.035), and slower early infarct growth rate (2.4 mL/h [IQR 1.5-5.1 mL/h] vs 10.4 mL/h [IQR 3.0-30.7 mL/h], p = 0.028). DISCUSSION Favorable collaterals were associated with smaller final stroke burden and slower early infarct growth rate but not with better clinical outcome in our study. Prospective studies are needed to determine the impact of collaterals in childhood stroke. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class II evidence that in children with ischemic stroke undergoing thrombectomy, favorable collaterals were associated with improved radiographic outcomes but not with better clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that CT hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch identifies patients with ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of symptom onset. METHODS We therefore performed the Retrospective Multicenter Hypoperfusion-Hypodensity Mismatch for The identification of Patients With Stroke Within 4.5 Hours study of patients with acute ischemic stroke and known time of symptom onset. The predictive values of hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch for the identification of patients with symptom onset within 4.5 hours were the main outcome measure. RESULTS Of 666 patients, 548 (82.3%) had multimodal CT within 4.5 hours and 118 (17.7%) beyond 4.5 hours. Hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch was visible in 516 (94.2%) patients with symptom onset within and in 30 (25.4%) patients beyond 4.5 hours. CT hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch identified patients within 4.5 hours of stroke onset with 94.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] 91.9%-95.8%) sensitivity, 74.6% (95% CI 66.0%-81.6%) specificity, 94.5% (95% CI 92.3%-96.1%) positive predictive value, and 73.3% (95% CI 64.8%-80.4%) negative predictive value. Interobserver agreement for hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch was substantial (κ = 0.61, 95% CI 0.53-0.69). DISCUSSION Patients with acute ischemic stroke with absence of a hypodensity on native CT (NCCT) within the hypoperfused core lesion on perfusion CT (hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch) are likely to be within the time window of thrombolysis. Applying this method may guide the decision to use thrombolysis in patients with unknown time of stroke onset. TRIAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04277728. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class III evidence that CT hypoperfusion-hypodensity mismatch identifies patients with stroke within 4.5 hours of onset.

Abstract
Background: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has become the standard of care for large-vessel occlusion strokes, but several barriers for implementing an optimal organization of stroke management remain. Major issues include the lack of reliable data on the percentage of stroke patients potentially eligible for EVT especially in times of expanding indications for EVT. Our aim was therefore to study the frequencies of possible EVT-eligible patients such as patients with medium-vessel occlusions, patients with low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Scores (ASPECTS), patients presenting in an extended time window after onset of symptoms, and patients with mild symptoms at presentation (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, NIHSS ≤ 5). We also give detailed imaging and clinical information about the patients presenting with intracranial hemorrhage and other ischemic stroke mimics stratified by symptoms at presentation. Methods: Cohort study of all consecutive patients with suspected acute stroke presenting to a tertiary care center in Germany between September 1, 2016, and August 31, 2017. Baseline and follow-up clinical and imaging characteristics were collected from patients' medical charts. Results: Of 1,322 patients with a suspected acute stroke, 592 (44.8%) had ischemic strokes, 221 (16.7%) had hemorrhagic strokes, 190 (10.9%) had transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), and 319 (24.1%) were classified as stroke mimics. Stroke severity was mild (NIHSS ≤ 5) in 866 (65.5%) patients; 15.7% of the patients with an occlusion of the anterior circulation had an ASPECTS ≤ 5, 17.4% of the patients with an ischemic stroke had distal vessel occlusions, and 49% of the patients presented later than 6 h after onset of symptoms. Conclusion: Our results help to plan resources in thrombectomy-capable centers in times of expanding indications for EVT where resources will have to be adjusted to patients with low-NIHSS, low-ASPECTS, and distal occlusions, and patients presenting in the extended time window, which may altogether account for an additional 20% of all ischemic stroke patients.

Abstract
Rationale: Early evidence for the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in pediatric patients with intracranial large vessel occlusion has been shown in previous retrospective cohorts. Higher-level evidence is needed to overcome the limitations of these studies such as the lack of a control group and the retrospective design. Randomized trials will very likely not be feasible, and several open questions remain, for example, the impact of arteriopathic etiologies or a possible lower age limit for MT. Save ChildS Pro therefore aims to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of MT in pediatric patients compared to the best medical management and intravenous thrombolysis. Design: Save ChildS Pro is designed as a worldwide multicenter prospective registry comparing the safety and effectiveness of MT to the best medical care alone in the treatment of pediatric arterial ischemic stroke (AIS). It will include pediatric patients (<18 years) with symptomatic acute intracranial arterial occlusion who underwent either MT or best medical treatment including intravenous thrombolysis. Outcomes: The primary endpoint of Save ChildS Pro is the modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days post-stroke. Secondary endpoints will comprise the decrease of the Pediatric National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score from admission to discharge and rate of complications. Discussion: Save ChildS Pro aims to provide high-level evidence for MT for pediatric patients with AIS, thereby improving functional outcome and quality of life and reducing the individual, societal, and economic burden of death and disability resulting from pediatric stroke. Clinical Trial Registration: Save ChildS Pro is registered at the German Clinical Trials Registry (DRKS; identifier: DRKS00018960).

Abstract
Paediatric arterial ischaemic stroke is an important cause of neurological morbidity in children, with consequences including motor disorders, intellectual impairment, and epilepsy. The causes of paediatric arterial ischaemic stroke are unique compared with those associated with stroke in adulthood. The past decade has seen substantial advances in paediatric stroke research and clinical care, but many unanswered questions and controversies remain. Shortage of prospective evidence for the use of recanalisation therapies in patients with paediatric stroke has resulted in little standardisation of disease management. Substantial time delays in diagnosis and treatment continue to challenge best possible care. In this Review, we highlight on some of the most pressing and productive aspects of research in the treatment of arterial ischaemic stroke in children, including epidemiology and cause, rehabilitation, secondary stroke prevention, and treatment updates focusing on advances in hyperacute therapies such as intravenous thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, and critical care. Finally, we provide a future perspective for improving outcomes and quality of life for affected children and their families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether to approach distal occlusions endovascularly or not in medium-sized vessels secondary to proximal large vessel occlusion stroke remains unanswered. OBJECTIVE To investigates the technical feasibility and safety of thrombectomy for secondary posterior circulation distal, medium vessel occlusions (DMVO). METHODS TOPMOST (Treatment fOr Primary Medium vessel Occlusion STroke) is an international, retrospective, multicenter, observational registry of patients treated for distal cerebral artery occlusions. This study subanalysis endovascularly treated occlusions of the posterior cerebral artery in the P2 and P3 segment secondary preprocedural or periprocedural thrombus migration between January 2014 and June 2020. Technical feasibility was evaluated with the modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) scale. Procedural safety was assessed by the occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and intervention-related serious adverse events. RESULTS Among 71 patients with secondary posterior circulation DMVO who met the inclusion criteria, occlusions were present in 80.3% (57/71) located in the P2 segment and in 19.7% (14/71) in the P3 segment. Periprocedural migration occurred in 54.9% (39/71) and preprocedural migration in 45.1% (32/71) of cases. The first reperfusion attempt led in 38% (27/71) of all cases to mTICI 3. On multivariable logistic regression analysis, increased numbers of reperfusion attempts (adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=0.39, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.88, p=0.009) and preprocedural migration (aOR=4.70, 95% CI,1.35 to 16.35, p=0.015) were significantly associated with mTICI 3. sICH occurred in 2.8% (2/71). CONCLUSION Thrombectomy for secondary posterior circulation DMVO seems to be safe and technically feasible. Even though thrombi that have migrated preprocedurally may be easier to retract, successful reperfusion can be achieved in the majority of patients with secondary DMVO of the P2 and P3 segment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a need to examine the effects of different types of oral anticoagulant-associated intracerebral hemorrhage (OAC-ICH) on perihematomal edema (PHE), which is gaining considerable appeal as a biomarker for secondary brain injury and clinical outcome. METHODS In a large multicenter approach, computed tomography-derived imaging markers for PHE (absolute PHE, relative PHE (rPHE), edema expansion distance (EED)) were calculated for patients with OAC-ICH and NON-OAC-ICH. Exploratory analysis for non-vitamin-K-antagonist OAC (NOAC) and vitamin-K-antagonists (VKA) was performed. The predictive performance of logistic regression models, employing predictors of poor functional outcome (modified Rankin scale 4-6), was explored. RESULTS Of 811 retrospectively enrolled patients, 212 (26.14%) had an OAC-ICH. Mean rPHE and mean EED were significantly lower in patients with OAC-ICH compared to NON-OAC-ICH, p-value 0.001 and 0.007; whereas, mean absolute PHE did not differ, p-value 0.091. Mean EED was also significantly lower in NOAC compared to NON-OAC-ICH, p-value 0.05. Absolute PHE was an independent predictor of poor clinical outcome in NON-OAC-ICH (OR 1.02; 95%CI 1.002-1.028; p-value 0.027), but not in OAC-ICH (p-value 0.45). CONCLUSION Quantitative markers of early PHE (rPHE and EED) were lower in patients with OAC-ICH compared to those with NON-OAC-ICH, with significantly lower levels of EED in NOAC compared to NON-OAC-ICH. Increase of early PHE volume did not increase the likelihood of poor outcome in OAC-ICH, but was independently associated with poor outcome in NON-OAC-ICH. The results underline the importance of etiology-specific treatment strategies. Further prospective studies are needed.

Abstract
Importance Clinical evidence of the potential treatment benefit of mechanical thrombectomy for posterior circulation distal, medium vessel occlusion (DMVO) is sparse. Objective To investigate the frequency as well as the clinical and safety outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy for isolated posterior circulation DMVO stroke and to compare them with the outcomes of standard medical treatment with or without intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in daily clinical practice. Design, Setting, and Participants This multicenter case-control study analyzed patients who were treated for primary distal occlusion of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) of the P2 or P3 segment. These patients received mechanical thrombectomy or standard medical treatment (with or without IVT) at 1 of 23 comprehensive stroke centers in Europe, the United States, and Asia between January 1, 2010, and June 30, 2020. All patients who met the inclusion criteria were matched using 1:1 propensity score matching. Interventions Mechanical thrombectomy or standard medical treatment with or without IVT. Main Outcomes and Measures Clinical end point was the improvement of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores at discharge from baseline. Safety end point was the occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and hemorrhagic complications were classified based on the Second European-Australasian Acute Stroke Study (ECASSII). Functional outcome was evaluated with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90-day follow-up. Results Of 243 patients from all participating centers who met the inclusion criteria, 184 patients were matched. Among these patients, the median (interquartile range [IQR]) age was 74 (62-81) years and 95 (51.6%) were female individuals. Posterior circulation DMVOs were located in the P2 segment of the PCA in 149 patients (81.0%) and in the P3 segment in 35 patients (19.0%). At discharge, the mean NIHSS score decrease was -2.4 points (95% CI, -3.2 to -1.6) in the standard medical treatment cohort and -3.9 points (95% CI, -5.4 to -2.5) in the mechanical thrombectomy cohort, with a mean difference of -1.5 points (95% CI, 3.2 to -0.8; P = .06). Significant treatment effects of mechanical thrombectomy were observed in the subgroup of patients who had higher NIHSS scores on admission of 10 points or higher (mean difference, -5.6; 95% CI, -10.9 to -0.2; P = .04) and in the subgroup of patients without IVT (mean difference, -3.0; 95% CI, -5.0 to -0.9; P = .005). Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 4 of 92 patients (4.3%) in each treatment cohort. Conclusions and Relevance This study suggested that, although rarely performed at comprehensive stroke centers, mechanical thrombectomy for posterior circulation DMVO is a safe, and technically feasible treatment option for occlusions of the P2 or P3 segment of the PCA compared with standard medical treatment with or without IVT.

Abstract
Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has become standard of care for large vessel
occlusion strokes but current guidelines exclude a large proportion of patients
from this highly effective treatment. This review therefore focuses on expanding
indications for EVT in several borderline indications such as patients in the
extended time window, patients with extensive signs of infarction on admission
imaging, elderly patients and patients with pre-existing deficits. It also
discusses the current knowledge on intravenous thrombolysis as an adjunct to EVT
and EVT as primary therapy for distal vessel occlusions, for tandem occlusions,
for basilar artery occlusions and in pediatric patients. We provide clear
recommendations based on current guidelines and further literature.

Abstract
Background and Purpose Data on safety and efficacy of intra-arterial (IA) fibrinolytics as adjunct to mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are sparse.
Methods INtra-arterial FIbriNolytics In ThrombectomY (INFINITY) is a retrospective multi-center observational registry of consecutive patients with anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion ischemic stroke treated with MT and adjunctive administration of IA fibrinolytics (alteplase [tissue plasminogen activator, tPA] or urokinase [UK]) at 10 European centers. Primary outcome was the occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) according to the European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study II definition. Secondary outcomes were mortality and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at 3 months.
Results Of 5,612 patients screened, 311 (median age, 74 years; 44.1% female) received additional IA after or during MT (194 MT+IA tPA, 117 MT+IA UK). IA fibrinolytics were mostly administered for rescue of thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) 0-2b after MT (80.4%, 250/311). sICH occurred in 27 of 308 patients (8.8%), with an increased risk in patients with initial TICI0/1 (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1 to 5.0 per TICI grade decrease) or in those with intracranial internal carotid artery occlusions (aOR, 3.7; 95% CI, 1.2 to 12.5). In patients with attempted rescue of TICI0-2b and available angiographic follow-up, 116 of 228 patients (50.9%) showed any angiographic reperfusion improvement after IA fibrinolytics, which was associated with mRS ≤2 (aOR, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.4 to 6.9).
Conclusions Administration of IA fibrinolytics as adjunct to MT is performed rarely, but can improve reperfusion, which is associated with better outcomes. Despite a selection bias, an increased risk of sICH seems possible, which underlines the importance of careful patient selection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thrombus composition has been shown to be a major determinant of recanalization success and occurrence of complications in mechanical thrombectomy. The most important parameters of thrombus behavior during interventional procedures are relative fractions of fibrin and red blood cells (RBCs). We hypothesized that quantitative information from admission non-contrast CT (NCCT) and CT angiography (CTA) can be used for machine learning based prediction of thrombus composition. METHODS The analysis included 112 patients with occlusion of the carotid-T or middle cerebral artery who underwent thrombectomy. Thrombi samples were histologically analyzed and fractions of fibrin and RBCs were determined. Thrombi were semi-automatically delineated in CTA scans and NCCT scans were registered to the same space. Two regions of interest (ROIs) were defined for each thrombus: small-diameter ROIs capture vessel walls and thrombi, large-diameter ROIs reflect peri-vascular tissue responses. 4844 quantitative image markers were extracted and evaluated for their ability to predict thrombus composition using random forest algorithms in a nested fivefold cross validation. RESULTS Test set receiver operating characteristic area under the curve was 0.83 (95% CI 0.80 to 0.87) for differentiating RBC-rich thrombi and 0.84 (95% CI 0.80 to 0.87) for differentiating fibrin-rich thrombi. At maximum Youden-Index, RBC-rich thrombi were identified at 77% sensitivity and 74% specificity; for fibrin-rich thrombi the classifier reached 81% sensitivity at 73% specificity. CONCLUSIONS Machine learning based analysis of admission imaging allows for prediction of clot composition. Perspectively, such an approach could allow selection of clot-specific devices and retrieval procedures for personalized thrombectomy strategies.

Abstract
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular tumor in children, which can be accompanied by life-threatening thrombocytopenia, referred to as Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP). The mTOR inhibitor sirolimus is emerging as targeted therapy in KHE. As the sirolimus effect on KHE occurs only after several weeks, we aimed to evaluate whether additional transarterial embolization is of benefit for children with KHE and KMP. Seventeen patients with KHE and KMP acquired from 11 hospitals in Germany were retrospectively divided into two cohorts. Children being treated with adjunct transarterial embolization and systemic sirolimus, and those being treated with sirolimus without additional embolization. Bleeding grade as defined by WHO was determined for all patients. Response of the primary tumor at 6 and 12 months assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), time to response of KMP defined as thrombocyte increase >150 × 103 /μL, as well as rebound rates of both after cessation of sirolimus were compared. N = 8 patients had undergone additive embolization to systemic sirolimus therapy, sirolimus in this group was started after a mean of 6.5 ± 3 days following embolization. N = 9 patients were identified who had received sirolimus without additional embolization. Adjunct embolization induced a more rapid resolution of KMP within a median of 7 days vs 3 months; however, tumor response as well as rebound rates were similar between both groups. Additive embolization may be of value for a more rapid rescue of consumptive coagulopathy in children with KHE and KMP compared to systemic sirolimus only.

Abstract
Purpose Use of automated perfusion software has gained importance for imaging of stroke patients for mechanical thrombectomy (MT). We aim to compare four perfusion software packages: 1) with respect to their association with 3‑month functional outcome after successful reperfusion with MT in comparison to visual Cerebral Blood Volume - Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (CBV-ASPECTS) and collateral scoring and 2) with respect to their agreement in estimation of core and penumbra volume. Methods This retrospective, multicenter cohort study (2015–2019) analyzed data from 8 centers. We included patients who were functionally independent before and underwent successful MT of the middle cerebral artery. Primary outcome measurements were the relationship of core and penumbra volume calculated by each software, qualitative assessment of collaterals and CBV-APECTS with 3‑month functional outcome and disability (modified Rankin scale >2). Quantitative differences between perfusion software measurements were also assessed. Results A total of 215 patients (57% women, median age 77 years) from 8 centers fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Multivariable analyses showed a significant association of RAPID core (common odds ratio, cOR 1.02; p = 0.015), CBV-ASPECTS (cOR 0.78; p = 0.007) and collaterals (cOR 0.78; p = 0.001) with 3‑month functional outcome (shift analysis), while RAPID core (OR 1.02; p = 0.018), CBV-ASPECTS (OR 0.77; p = 0.024), collaterals (OR 0.78; p = 0.007) and OLEA core (OR 1.02; p = 0.029) were significantly associated with 3‑month functional disability. Mean differences on core estimates between VEOcore and RAPID were 13.4 ml, between syngo.via and RAPID 30.0 ml and between OLEA and RAPID −3.2 ml. Conclusion Collateral scoring, CBV-ASPECTS and RAPID were independently associated with functional outcome at 90 days. Core and Penumbra estimates using automated software packages varied significantly and should therefore be used with caution.

Abstract
Importance Randomized clinical trials have shown the efficacy of thrombectomy of large intracranial vessel occlusions in adults; however, any association of therapy with clinical outcomes in children is unknown. Objective To evaluate the use of endovascular recanalization in pediatric patients with arterial ischemic stroke. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective, multicenter cohort study, conducted from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2018, analyzed the databases from 27 stroke centers in Europe and the United States. Included were all pediatric patients (<18 years) with ischemic stroke who underwent endovascular recanalization. Median follow-up time was 16 months. Exposures Endovascular recanalization. Main Outcomes and Measures The decrease of the Pediatric National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (PedNIHSS) score from admission to day 7 was the primary outcome (score range: 0 [no deficit] to 34 [maximum deficit]). Secondary clinical outcomes included the modified Rankin scale (mRS) (score range: 0 [no deficit] to 6 [death]) at 6 and 24 months and rate of complications. Results Seventy-three children from 27 participating stroke centers were included. Median age was 11.3 years (interquartile range [IQR], 7.0-15.0); 37 patients (51%) were boys, and 36 patients (49%) were girls. Sixty-three children (86%) received treatment for anterior circulation occlusion and 10 patients (14%) received treatment for posterior circulation occlusion; 16 patients (22%) received concomitant intravenous thrombolysis. Neurologic outcome improved from a median PedNIHSS score of 14.0 (IQR, 9.2-20.0) at admission to 4.0 (IQR, 2.0-7.3) at day 7. Median mRS score was 1.0 (IQR, 0-1.6) at 6 months and 1.0 (IQR, 0-1.0) at 24 months. One patient (1%) developed a postinterventional bleeding complication and 4 patients (5%) developed transient peri-interventional vasospasm. The proportion of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage events in the HERMES meta-analysis of trials with adults was 2.79 (95% CI, 0.42-6.66) and in Save ChildS was 1.37 (95% CI, 0.03-7.40). Conclusions and Relevance The results of this study suggest that the safety profile of thrombectomy in childhood stroke does not differ from the safety profile in randomized clinical trials for adults; most of the treated children had favorable neurologic outcomes. This study may support clinicians' practice of off-label thrombectomy in childhood stroke in the absence of high-level evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients presenting with large baseline infarctions are often excluded from mechanical thrombectomy (MT) due to uncertainty surrounding its effect on outcome. We hypothesized that computed tomography perfusion (CTP)-based selection may be predictive of functional outcome in low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) patients. METHODS This was a double-center, retrospective analysis of patients presenting with ASPECTS≤5 who received multimodal admission CT imaging between May 2015 and June 2020. The predicted ischemic core (pCore) was defined as a reduction in cerebral blood flow (rCBF), while mismatch volume was defined using time to maximum (Tmax). The pCore perfusion mismatch ratio (CPMR) was also calculated. These parameters (pCore, mismatch volume, and CPMR), as well as a combined radiological score consisting of ASPECTS and collateral status (ASCO score), were tested in logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. The primary outcome was favorable modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at discharge (≤3). RESULTS A total of 113 patients met the inclusion criteria. The median ischemic core volume was 74.1 mL (IQR 43.8-121.8). The ASCO score was associated with favorable outcome at discharge (aOR 3.7, 95% CI 1.8 to 10.7, P=0.002), while no association was observed for the CTP parameters. A model including the ASCO score also had significantly higher area under the curve (AUC) values compared with the CTP-based model (0.88 vs 0.64, P=0.018). CONCLUSIONS The ASCO score was superior to the CTP-based model for the prediction of good functional outcome and could represent a quick, practical, and easily implemented method for the selection of low ASPECTS patients most likely benefit from MT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether thrombectomy is safe in children up to 24 hours after onset of symptoms when selected by mismatch between clinical deficit and infarct. METHODS A secondary analysis of the Save ChildS Study (January 2000-December 2018) was performed, including all pediatric patients (<18 years) diagnosed with arterial ischemic stroke who underwent endovascular recanalization at 27 European and United States stroke centers. Patients were included if they had a relevant mismatch between clinical deficit and infarct. RESULTS Twenty children with a median age of 10.5 (interquartile range [IQR] 7-14.6) years were included. Of those, 7 were male (35%), and median time from onset to thrombectomy was 9.8 (IQR 7.8-16.2) hours. Neurologic outcome improved from a median Pediatric NIH Stroke Scale score of 12.0 (IQR 8.8-20.3) at admission to 2.0 (IQR 1.2-6.8) at day 7. Median modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score was 1.0 (IQR 0-1.6) at 3 months and 0.0 (IQR 0-1.0) at 24 months. One patient developed transient peri-interventional vasospasm; no other complications were observed. A comparison of the mRS score to the mRS score in the DAWN and DEFUSE 3 trials revealed a higher proportion of good outcomes in the pediatric compared to the adult study population. CONCLUSIONS Thrombectomy in pediatric ischemic stroke in an extended time window of up to 24 hours after onset of symptoms seems safe and neurologic outcomes are generally good if patients are selected by a mismatch between clinical deficit and infarct. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class IV evidence that for children with acute ischemic stroke with a mismatch between clinical deficit and infarct size, thrombectomy is safe.
