The authors used the Pipeline device to treat 20 patients with acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysms. The most common types of aneurysms treated were blister and dysplastic/dissecting. Procedure-related morbidity/mortality overall was 15%, and 1 death directly related to the procedure occurred. Occlusion rates were 75% and 94% at 6 months and 12 months, respectively. The authors concluded that the Pipeline device offers a feasible treatment option in acute or subacute ruptured aneurysms, especially the blister type. Ruptured giant aneurysms remain challenging for both surgical and endovascular techniques; at this stage, the Pipeline device should be used with caution in this aneurysm subtype.

Ninety-six patients with SAH were evaluated with CT perfusion for cortical deficits and these were correlated with primary (permanent neurologic deficits and infarctions) and secondary (delayed cerebral ischemia manifesting as clinical deterioration) outcome measures. One-third of patients developed permanent neurologic deficits (78% showed CT perfusion defects), infarctions developed in 18% (88% had perfusion defects), and delayed cerebral ischemia was found in 50% (81% had perfusion defects). The most common perfusion abnormalities were reduced CBF and prolonged MTT.

This study addresses the relationship among procedure time, recanalization, and clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular treatment. Demographics, NIHSS scores before and 1 day after the procedure, and modified Rankin Scale scores were assessed in 209 patients. Patients with procedure times ≤30 minutes had lower rates of unfavorable outcome at discharge compared with patients with procedure times ≥30 minutes. Rates of favorable outcomes in endovascularly treated patients after 60 minutes were lower than rates observed with placebo treatment. Unfavorable outcome was positively associated with age, admission NIHSS strata, and longer procedure times.
