- Impact of Time-to-Reperfusion on Outcome in Patients with Poor Collaterals
More than 200 patients with MCA +/- ICA occlusions who successfully reperfused with endovascular techniques were assessed. The probability of good outcome was not significantly influenced by onset-to-reperfusion and puncture-to-reperfusion periods in patients with good collaterals but dropped significantly in patients with poor collaterals.
- Brain Metabolic Abnormalities Associated with Developmental Venous Anomalies
The authors reviewed 25 developmental venous anomalies imaged with MRI and FDG-PET. Metabolic abnormalities were found in 76%, most commonly adjacent brain hypometabolism. These findings were predominantly seen in older individuals.
