Outcomes after reperfusion therapies in patients with ACA stroke: A multicenter cohort study from the EVATRISP collaboration

A. Filioglo et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effects of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) and intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) on patients with anterior cerebral artery (ACA) stroke. The study found no significant differences in favorable outcomes, mortality, or symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage between the two treatment methods. Furthermore, the location of the clot within the ACA did not affect the treatment outcomes.

Thrombectomy for secondary distal, medium vessel occlusions of the posterior circulation: seeking complete reperfusion

Lukas Meyer et al.

Summary: The study investigated the technical feasibility and safety of thrombectomy for secondary posterior circulation distal, medium vessel occlusions (DMVO), showing that thrombectomy for secondary posterior circulation DMVO is safe and technically feasible. Successful reperfusion can be achieved in the majority of patients with secondary DMVO of the P2 and P3 segment, even in cases where thrombi have migrated preprocedurally.

Feasibility and safety of thrombectomy for isolated occlusions of the posterior cerebral artery: a multicenter experience and systematic literature review

Lukas Meyer et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the technical feasibility and safety of thrombectomy for isolated occlusions of the posterior cerebral artery, with high rates of successful recanalization and favorable clinical outcomes. More research is needed to explore long-term functional outcomes and safety in posterior circulation stroke.

Safety and Angiographic Efficacy of Intra-Arterial Fibrinolytics as Adjunct to Mechanical Thrombectomy: Results from the INFINITY Registry

Johannes Kaesmacher et al.

Summary: The study found that the administration of intra-arterial fibrinolytics as an adjunct to mechanical thrombectomy is rarely performed but can improve reperfusion, leading to better treatment outcomes. However, there is a possible increased risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, highlighting the importance of careful patient selection.

Clinical prognosis of isolated anterior cerebral artery territory infarction: a retrospective study

Hyungjong Park et al.

Summary: Isolated anterior cerebral artery (ACA) territory infarction is a rare condition with distinctive clinical features. Short- and long-term outcomes are favorable, although occlusion of the proximal segment of the ACA is associated with the development of distinctive symptoms that may impact future dwelling and job status.

Mechanical Thrombectomy for Distal Occlusions: Efficacy, Functional and Safety Outcomes: Insight from the STAR Collaboration

Mohammad Anadani et al.

Summary: This multicenter retrospective study compared the efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy for proximal vs. distal intracranial occlusions, finding that distal occlusion group had a slightly higher rate of good outcome but lower successful reperfusion rate compared to the proximal occlusion group. However, there were no significant differences in hemorrhagic complications, mortality, or procedure-related complications between the two groups. Successful reperfusion, age, and admission stroke severity were identified as predictors of good functional outcome in the distal occlusion group.

Endovascular treatment of anterior cerebral artery occlusions

Mayank Goyal et al.

Summary: There is limited data on endovascular treatment for anterior cerebral artery occlusions. This review focuses on ACA anatomy, clinical and imaging findings, prognosis of ACA stroke, and ACA thrombectomy techniques. ACA occlusions can be classified based on location, continuity with other vessel occlusions, and etiology, with symptoms varying due to individual variations in blood supply.

Anterior Cerebral Artery Stroke Role of Collateral Systems on Infarct Topography

Tharani Thirugnanachandran et al.

Summary: The study investigated the role of the circle of Willis and leptomeningeal anastomoses in modifying infarct topography following anterior cerebral artery occlusion. Results showed that these anatomical structures play a crucial role, especially in distal artery occlusions. Specific brain regions were identified with varying probabilities of infarction, with superior frontal gyrus and anterior cingulate gyrus having the highest probabilities.
