Endovascular embolectomy of acute basilar artery occlusion.
Acute basilar artery occlusion has a mortality rate approaching 90%. The authors describe a case of acute basilar artery occlusion managed successfully with endovascular embolectomy. A 31-year-old man sought treatment for confusion, dysarthria, and right-sided weakness. He soon became unresponsive and was found to have a vertebral artery dissection and an associated basilar artery embolism. The...
متن کاملDirect percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for acute middle cerebral artery occlusion.
PURPOSE We review our initial experience with direct percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) as a reperfusion treatment for acute occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. METHODS Ten patients in whom successful thrombolysis might not be expected because of the risk of hemorrhagic complications or reocclusion were treated with direct PTA. When early ischemic findings were present on the in...
متن کاملResearch Paper: Optimization of Transient Focal Cerebral Ischemia Model by Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion
Introduction: Cerebral ischemia is one of the most common causes of death in human populations in the industrial communities. The need for animal models is inevitable to study the pathophysiology and treatment of cerebral ischemia in human. The current study aimed at evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of different techniques used to create ischemia in previous studies and optimizing the tr...
متن کاملEmergency Microsurgical Embolectomy for the Treatment of Acute Intracranial Artery Occlusion: Report of Two Cases
BACKGROUND The main treatment for acute arterial ischemic stroke is intravenous or intra-arterial thrombolysis within a particular time window. Endovascular mechanical embolectomy is another treatment option in the case of major artery occlusion. Endovascular mechanical embolectomy is a useful technique for restoring blood flow in patients with large-vessel occlusion, and especially in those wh...
متن کاملSurgical Embolectomy for Fovea-threatening Acute Retinal Artery Occlusion
PURPOSE To describe a technique of surgical intraocular embolectomy in patients with acute fovea-threatening branch retinal artery occlusion. METHODS Pars plana vitrectomy with embolectomy involving embolus isolation, dissection, and removal in patients with an acute fovea-threatening arterial occlusion without a patent cilioretinal artery. RESULTS The surgical technique involves a core vit...
