A high incidence of native portal vein thrombosis in veterans undergoing liver transplantation [PDF]
The incidence of native portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in liver transplant recipients has been reported to range from 2.1 to 13.8%. We have identified an inordinately high incidence of PVT in a consecutive series of U.S.

Mechanical thrombectomy: Answering unanswered
The stroke physician community witnessed a major "breakthrough" in acute stroke therapeutics when the results of the first of the many positive trials, "MR CLEAN," were published showing a significant absolute benefit in favor of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO). Thereafter, the investigators of ESCAPE, SWIFT PRIME,

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

Prediction of final infarct volume from native CT perfusion and treatment parameters using deep learning [PDF]
CT Perfusion (CTP) imaging has gained importance in the diagnosis of acute stroke. Conventional perfusion analysis performs a deconvolution of the measurements and thresholds the perfusion parameters to determine the tissue status.

Anterior cerebral artery thrombectomy: A case series and technical description
Background: Distal medium vessel occlusions account for 25–40% of ischemic stroke. The utility of thrombectomy in these vessel territories is less frequently studied.
