    Abstract Intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) is one of the most common causes of stroke worldwide and is associated with high risk of stroke recurrence. While the most common clinical presentation is acute-subacute transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke, occasionally, patients with underlying ICAS present with acute occlusion of the affected vessel. Diagnosis and endovascular management of ICAS-related emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO) can be challenging. Herein, we review the current evidence supporting endovascular management of ICAS-related ELVO and discuss future directions.

    Abstract This comprehensive literature review focuses on acute stroke related to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), with an emphasis on ICAS-large vessel occlusion. ICAS is the leading cause of stroke globally, with high recurrence risk, especially in Asian, Black, and Hispanic populations. Various risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, and advanced age lead to ICAS, which in turn results in stroke through different mechanisms. Recurrent stroke risk in patients with ICAS with hemodynamic failure is particularly high, even with aggressive medical management. Developments in advanced imaging have improved our understanding of ICAS and ability to identify high-risk patients who could benefit from intervention. Herein, we focus on current management strategies for ICAS-large vessel occlusion discussed, including the use of perfusion imaging, endovascular therapy, and stenting. In addition, we focus on strategies that aim at identifying subjects at higher risk for early recurrent risk who could benefit from early endovascular intervention The review underscores the need for further research to optimize ICAS-large vessel occlusion treatment strategies, a traditionally understudied topic.

    Abstract Background: Intracranial stents and flow diverters contain significant amounts of metals, notably nickel, which can cause allergic reactions in a considerable portion of the population. These allergic responses may lead to complications like in-stent stenosis (ISS) and TIA/Stroke in patients receiving stents or flow diverters for intracranial aneurysms.
    Methods: We conducted a systematic review of studies from inception until July 2023, which reported outcomes of patients with metal allergy undergoing neurovascular stenting. The skin patch test was used to group patients into those with positive, negative, or absent patch test results but with a known history of metal allergy.
    Results: Our review included seven studies with a total of 39 patients. Among them, 87% had a history of metal allergy before treatment. Most aneurysms (89%) were in the anterior circulation and the rest (11%) were in the posterior circulation. Skin patch tests were performed in 59% of patients, with 24% showing positive results and 33% negative. Incidental ISS was observed in 18% of patients, and the rate of TIA/Stroke was reported in 21%. The pooled rates of ISS and TIA/Stroke were higher in the first group (43% and 38%) compared to the second (18% and 9%) and third groups (15% and 15%), but these differences were not statistically significant.
    Conclusions: The current neurosurgical literature does not provide a conclusive association between metal allergy and increased complications among patients undergoing neurovascular stenting. Further studies are necessary to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this topic.

    Abstract Objective: There are limited data evaluating the optimum blood pressure (BP) goal post mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and its effect on outcomes of patients with large vessel occlusions (LVO). The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of intensive versus conventional BP control after reperfusion with MT via a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
    Methods: We searched PubMed and Embase to obtain articles related to BP control post MT through September 2023. The primary outcome was functional independence (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] 0-2) at 3 months, while secondary outcomes included excellent outcome (mRS 0-1), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), and mortality.
    Results: Four RCTs with 1,566 patients (762 randomized into intensive BP control vs. 806 randomized into conventional BP control) were included. Analysis showed that there was a lower likelihood of functional independence (mRS 0-2: odds ratio [OR]: 0.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.51-0.91, p = 0.009) in the more intensive treatment group compared with the conventional treatment group. There was no statistically significant difference in achieving excellent outcome (mRS0-1: OR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.63-1.07; p = 0.15), risk of sICH or mortality.
    Interpretation: This systematic review and meta- analysis Indicates that in patients who achieved successful MT for acute ischemic stroke with LVO, intensive BP control was associated with a lower likelihood of functional independence at 3 months without significant difference in likelihood of achieving excellent outcome, sICH risk, or mortality.
