Among pts w/ mild anterior LVO strokes, endovascular therapy + medical management led to a better functional outcome at 90d than medical management alone, w/o an ⬆️in sICH but with ⬆️ incidence of procedure-related complications.🧠 shorturl.at/Fvmdr

In pts selected using advanced imaging, IV thrombolysis performed after 4.5h improves functional outcomes w/o increasing mortality, supporting a tissue-based rather than strictly time-based approach to treating AIS.🧠 shorturl.at/gG4ja #SCCMNeuro #NeuroICU #NeuroX

This review indicates that there is no clear, well-supported recommendation to administer DDAVP to pts w/ APT-ICH. Bayesian meta-analysis reveals a concerning signal for harm with DDAVP administration.🧠 rdcu.be/ckAs1myfQzVa #SCCMNeuro #NeuroICU #NeuroX #NeuroTwitter

Hematoma location modifies the treatment effect of intensive BP lowering on functional outcome after ICH, with the benefit observed only in deep ICH.🧠 shorturl.at/FLnYM #SCCMNeuro #NeuroICU #NeuroX #NeuroTwitter

The MEMBRANE trial randomized patient with chronic SDH (with or without surgical evacuation) to MMA symbolization versus standard care. The rate of recurrent SDH >10 mm or rescue surgery was basically half that in the MMA group compared to SOC Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization With n-Butyl Cyanoacrylate in Chronic Subdural Hematoma jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
