    Abstract "Few medical fields have enjoyed the explosive growth and continued maturation as the subspecialty of endovascular surgical neuroradiology. In pouring through the literature on all things associated with neurointerventional, I recognized the need to develop a resource that brought focus to the many devices and the techniques and procedures we do. This book does just that: It brings to sharp focus the most current, and up-to-date methods of an ever-changing specialty. It brings this information to you, through the lens of experts in their respective fields by focusing all their research into the textbook that sits before you. The "Clinical Practice" portion of this textbook integrates and translates this theory into a working paradigm that brings benefit to our patients. By focusing on technique and emphasizing complication avoidance and in those unfortunate times when the complication occurs, complication management, your patient benefits"--Provided by publisher

    Abstract The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that functions via its discrete binding partners to form two multiprotein complexes, mTOR complex 1 and 2 (mTORC1 and mTORC2). Rapamycin-sensitive mTORC1, which regulates protein synthesis and cell growth, is tightly controlled by PI3K/Akt and is nutrient-/growth factor-sensitive. In the brain, mTORC1 is also sensitive to neurotransmitter signaling. mTORC2, which is modulated by growth factor signaling, is associated with ribosomes and is insensitive to rapamycin. mTOR regulates stem cell and cancer stem cell characteristics. Aberrant Akt/mTOR activation is involved in multistep tumorigenesis in a variety of cancers, thereby suggesting that the inhibition of mTOR may have therapeutic potential. Rapamycin and its analogues, known as rapalogues, suppress mTOR activity through an allosteric mechanism that only suppresses mTORC1, albeit incompletely. ATP-catalytic binding site inhibitors are designed to inhibit both complexes. This review describes the regulation of mTOR and the targeting of its complexes in the treatment of cancers, such as glioblastoma, and their stem cells.

    Abstract Background: Owing to the relative rarity of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) in the pediatric population, evidence regarding treatment modalities and clinical outcomes remains limited.
    Objective: To characterize the use and clinical outcomes of endovascular therapy (EVT) and microsurgical clipping (MSC) for pediatric UIAs over a two-decade interval using a large national registry.
    Methods: Pediatric (<18 years of age) UIA hospitalizations were identified in the National Inpatient Sample from 2002 to 2019. Temporal use and clinical outcomes were compared for treatment with EVT and MSC.
    Results: Among 734 UIAs identified, 64.9% (n=476) were treated with EVT. Use of EVT significantly increased during the study period from 54.3% (2002-2004) to 78.6% (2017-2019) (P=0.002 by Cochrane-Armitage test). In comparison with those treated with MSC, pediatric patients treated with EVT demonstrated higher rates of favorable outcomes (discharge to home without services) (96.0% vs 91.1%, P=0.006), shorter durations of hospital stay (4.6 vs 10.0 days, P<0.001), and lower rates of ischemic or hemorrhagic procedural-related complications (1% vs 4%, P=0.010). Conservative management also increased significantly over the study period (P<0.001 by Cochrane-Armitage test).
    Conclusion: A retrospective evaluation of nearly 20 years of population-level data from the United States demonstrates increasing use of EVT for the treatment of pediatric UIAs, with high rates of favorable outcomes and shorter hospital stays in comparison with those treated with microsurgery.

    Abstract Background: Despite renewed interest and recently demonstrated efficacy for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) of the posterior circulation, to date, no randomized clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate EVT for isolated occlusions of the posterior cerebral artery (IPCA).
    Methods: Hospitalizations for adult patients with primary admission diagnoses of IPCA occlusion were identified in the National Inpatient Sample registry during the period of 2016-2020. The study exposure was treatment with EVT, and primary clinical endpoints included favorable functional outcome (defined as discharge disposition to home without services, previously shown to have high concordance with modified Rankin scale scores 0-2), in-hospital mortality, and any intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was performed to balance baseline clinical characteristics between those receiving EVT or medical management (MM).
    Results: This analysis identified 34,880 IPCA occlusion hospitalizations, 730 (2.1%) of which documented treatment with EVT. Following IPTW adjustment, EVT was associated with favorable outcome in IPCA patients presenting with mild deficits (M-D) (NIHSS < 6) [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.36, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.27, 2.45; p < 0.001] and in those presenting with moderate-to-severe deficits (M-S-D) (NIHSS 6-42) (aOR 2.00, 95% CI 1.86, 2.15; p < 0.001). Mortality rates did not differ among those with M-S-D [EVT 4.8% vs. MM 4.7%, p = 0.742], while ICH rates were lower.
    Conclusion: Retrospective analysis of a large administrative registry in the Unites States demonstrates an association of EVT with favorable outcomes following IPCA occlusion, without concomitant risk of hemorrhagic transformation or mortality.

    Abstract Background: Advance care planning is an integral part of supporting patients through serious illness and end-of-life care.
    Problem: Several components of advance care planning may be too inflexible to account for patients' changing disease and evolving goals as serious illness progresses. Health systems are starting to implement processes to address these barriers, though implementation has varied.
    Proposed solution: In 2017, Kaiser Permanente introduced Life Care Planning (LCP), incorporating advance care planning dynamically into concurrent disease management. LCP provides a framework for identifying surrogates, documenting goals, and eliciting patient values across disease progression. LCP provides standardized training to facilitate communication and utilizes a centralized section within the electronic health record for longitudinal documentation of goals.
    Outcomes: More than 6000 physicians, nurses, and social workers have been trained in LCP. Over one million patients have engaged in LCP since its inception, with over 52% of patients age 55+ having a surrogate designated. There is evidence of high treatment concordance with patients' desired wishes (88.9%), with high rates of advance directive completion as well (84.1%).
