This podcast discusses a retrospective study by Rossmann T, et al. that evaluates the long-term risks of hemorrhage and mortality in patients treated for high-grade intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs). Covering a cohort of 121 patients over a median follow-up of 4.2 years, the findings reveal a significant rate of angiographic occlusion following endovascular therapy, with manageable complication rates and low associated mortality. The importance of specialised treatment centres and the mental health aspects for patients are also key discussion points.
This podcast episode delves into a systematic review and meta-analysis exploring the use of flow diverters for treating posterior circulation intracranial aneurysms. With findings showing a complete occlusion rate of 72.73% and notable risks including an 11.70% rate of thromboembolic events, the discussion emphasizes the importance of patient selection and highlights the need for future research to enhance treatment protocols.
In this episode of Neuro-vascular Edge: MENA-SINO's Pre-Conference Pulse, we explore a critical study on the 'no-reflow' phenomenon that affects stroke patients post-thrombectomy. Despite successful blood clot removal, many patients experience inadequate blood flow to brain tissue, leading to poor outcomes. We discuss key findings from the extensive research analyzing over 450 patients, uncovering the substantial impact of microvascular health on clinical results. This dialogue emphasizes the importance of ensuring tissue-level reperfusion alongside vessel recanalization to improve patient care and therapeutic strategies.
This podcast explores recent studies that challenge the efficacy of thrombectomy as a treatment for medium vessel occlusions (MeVOs) and distal vessel occlusions (DVOs) in stroke patients. With emerging evidence suggesting minimal benefits compared to best medical treatment, the discussion highlights the need to reassess treatment strategies and patient selection for these types of strokes. The risks associated with thrombectomy, including higher rates of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage, underscore the necessity for further research and innovation in the field.

In this episode of the MENA-SINO podcast, we delve into Dr. Aurora Cruz's editorial on the transformative impact of AI technology in stroke care. We discuss how AI-based detection systems significantly reduce alert times for emergent large vessel occlusions (ELVOs), the challenges of implementing these systems, and the importance of maintaining clear communication protocols in medical teams to maximize patient outcomes.
In this episode, we explore a groundbreaking study on branch atherosclerosis disease (BAD) that introduces a novel treatment strategy combining argatroban with standard dual antiplatelet therapy. Researchers found that this approach significantly reduces early neurological deterioration and improves long-term functional outcomes in stroke patients. Join us as we discuss the study's methods, key findings, and the potential implications for clinical practices in treating BAD.
In this episode, we delve into the rising concern of young-onset ischemic stroke among adults aged 18 to 49. A recent study investigates modifiable risk factors associated with cryptogenic ischemic stroke, particularly focusing on those linked to high-risk patent foramen ovale (PFO). The findings reveal a distinction between traditional risk factors, such as smoking and hypertension, and nontraditional ones like migraine with aura, especially in women. Join us as we explore these critical insights and emphasize the need for targeted prevention strategies in this vulnerable age group.
In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research published in the journal Stroke, revealing that visuospatial neglect is far more prevalent in stroke patients than previously acknowledged. Host and Dr. Dario Cazzoli discuss how innovative eye-tracking technology has transformed the assessment of this cognitive condition, which hinders patients' ability to perceive one side of their environment. Discover the study's key findings, implications for clinical practice, and the urgent need for improved screening methods to enhance patient outcomes during the critical early phase of stroke recovery.
