Surgical and demographic predictors of free flap salvage after takeback: A systematic review
Abstract Background Microsurgical free tissue transfer (FTT) is a widely employed surgical modality utilized for reconstruction of a broad range of defects, including head and neck, extremity, and breast. Flap survival is reported to be 90%–95%. When FTT fails, salvage procedures aim at establishing reperfusion while limiting ischemia time—with salvage

A rare mechanism of embolic stroke complicating coronary thrombus aspiration
Aspiration thrombectomy is often performed in patients with acute myocardial infarction with high thrombus burden. Current guidelines, however, recommend against it because of stroke risk. We report a case of embolic stroke complicating coronary thrombus

Low Levels of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Increase the Risk of Post-Thrombectomy Delayed Parenchymal Hematoma [PDF]
Purpose Low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) have been suggested to increase the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) following acute ischemic stroke.

Updates in mechanical thrombectomy
Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The advent of mechanical thrombectomy has largely improved patient outcomes. This article reviews the features and outcomes associated with aspiration, stent retrievers, and combination catheters used in current practice.

Abstract Background Complications leading to early technical failure have been the Achilles’ heel of simultaneous pancreas‐kidney transplantation (SPKT). The study purpose was to analyze longitudinally our experience with early surgical complications following SPKT with an emphasis on changes in practice that improved outcomes in the most recent era ...

Prediction of Thrombectomy Functional Outcomes using Multimodal Data [PDF]
Recent randomised clinical trials have shown that patients with ischaemic stroke {due to occlusion of a large intracranial blood vessel} benefit from endovascular thrombectomy. However, predicting outcome of treatment in an individual patient remains a challenge.

Abstract Background and purpose An early understanding of stroke mechanism may improve treatment and outcome in patients presenting with large vessel occlusion stroke (LVOS) treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT). We aimed to investigate whether spontaneous external carotid artery (ECA) embolism detection during MT is associated with stroke etiology

Stroke thrombectomy complication management [PDF]
Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EVT) is widely accepted as the first-line treatment for acute ischemic stroke in patients with large vessel occlusion. Being an invasive treatment, this method is associated with various preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative complications. These complications may influence peri-interventional morbidity and
