Stent Retrievers

Introduction: Technical improvement to enhance M2 occlusion thrombectomy is desirable. Tron FX® is the only stent-retriever that can be deployed through 0.0165-inch microcatheters. Here we report outcomes of blind exchange with mini-pinning (BEMP) technique using Tron stent-retrievers. Methods: Consecutive stroke patients with M2 occlusion treated with 2 x15 mm or 4 x 20 mm Tron stent-retrievers using the BEMP technique were included. The technique involves the deployment of a Tron stent-retriever through a 0.0165-inch microcatheter followed by microcatheter removal and blind navigation of a 3/4MAX aspiration catheter over the bare Tron delivery wire until the aspiration catheter reaches the clot,. Tron stent-retriever was inserted into aspiration catheter like corkscrew, and subsequently pulled as a unit. A first pass effect (FPE), modified FPE (mFPE) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days were assessed as outcomes. Results: Fifteen M2 vessels were treated in 13 patients (5 women, median 81 years of age, and median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score 18 [11–25]). BEMP technique was successful in all cases. Whether to use 3MAX or 4MAX was determined according to the target vessel size while proceeding with the procedure (3MAX, n=8; 4MAX, n=5). Final mTICI 2b–3 was achieved in 92% (12/13). FPE and mFPE rates were 50% and 64%, respectively. Six patients (46%) were achieved in mRS score 0–2 at 3 months. Conclusions: Tron stent-retriever was successfully and safely used in the BEMP technique for M2 occlusion

Route Descriptions

Limited sensory information about a new environment often requires people with a visual impairment to rely on sighted guides for showing or describing routes around the environment. However, route descriptions provided by other blind independent navigators, (e.g., over a cell phone), can also be used to guide a traveler along a previously unknown route. A visually impaired guide can often describe a route as well or better than a sighted person since the guide is familiar with the issues of blind navigation. This chapter introduces a Collaborative Route Information Sharing System (CRISS). CRISS is a collaborative online environment where visually impaired and sighted people will be able to share and manage route descriptions for indoor and outdoor environments. It then describes the system’s Route Analysis Engine module which takes advantage of information extraction techniques to find landmarks in natural language route descriptions written by independent blind navigators.
