Apparently stroke doesn’t take vacation over the holidays. Good thing we are prepared to treat it with mechanical thrombectomy all year round. #ucla #uclahealth #uclaneurosurgery #uclaneurology #uclainterventionalradiologyteam #stroke #thrombectomy #dotherightthing #makeadifference

#repost @mtbendermd Here’s a video compilation from a recent day when we treated two emergent tandem occlusion strokes. “Tandem occlusion” is when a patient has both (1) intracranial large vessel occlusion coming from (2) ruptured atherosclerotic plaque at the carotid bifurcation in the neck.

The accepted priority is on opening the intracranial occlusion because there is not collateral blood supply. But there is debate about whether to acutely stent the cervical carotid artery stenosis (because it requires antiplatelet therapy which increases the risk and consequence of any intracranial hemorrhage).

Here’s a nice meta-analysis on the topic published this year in our field’s leading journal: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35428740/

Although I agree with the meta-analysis and tend to stent acutely, I did not for either of our patients because they presented late and already had significant ischemia, increasing their risk of #hemorrhage.

Repost: Case of a 79 y/o patient who presented with an Acute Ischemic Stroke of the left M1/M2 MCA. She developed sudden aphasia, right body hemiparesis and altered level of consciousness. Revascularization was obtained with the Penumbra aspiration system and ERIC stent retriever. We were fortunate enough to reach a TICI grade 3.

Repost: Occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) of the brain leads to a serious neurological picture.
By using the mechanical thrombectomy + aspiration technique, the clot was successfully and quickly removed and full patency of the vessel was achieved.

Join us in raising awareness for treating #stroke with World Stroke Thrombectomy Day! #treatthestroke

Happy Neurosurgeon’s Day on Dr. Harvey Cushing’s Birthday, the father of neurosurgery. On this day we’d like to thank all the neurosurgeons who dedicate their lives to this specialty and their patients.

Repost: CEREBRAL THROMBECTOMY DURING COVID & THANKS: During a thrombectomy I thought how easy my job is. Took about 15 minutes – probably quarter of time takes 2 clean every inch of room after case. For everyone else involved there is tremendous effort. Thanks 2 residents, fellows, ED team, neurology, anesthesia, ICU team, nurses, technicians, EMT, paramedics who work hard & put themselves at risk. Extremely rare that I wear N95 mask 4 more than hour. Hard 2 imagine folks that deal w discomfort of 12 hr shift. Thanks 2 technicians who ensure we have scrubs & food at hospital. Thanks 2 companies make these products ensurin my job so easy & thanks for workers that deliver. Thanks 2 wife 4 keepin up the fort while running her company. Thanks 4 my son’s “virtual” hung every time get home. Thanks 4 everyone’s hard work!

Repost: If detected early enough, some patients with blockage of the major arteries of the brain can be treated with mechanical thrombectomy. Removal of the blood clot using suction catheters and other devices can restore blood flow and prevent a major stroke.

Here are angiogram images from before and after thrombectomy for a patient who presented with acute left sided weakness.
