Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) is a devastating complication after endovascular thrombectomy. Prior reports have demonstrated that thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) ≥2 b reperfusion is protective against sICH. We aimed to further examine the relationship between reperfusion grade and sICH, to elucidate whether a difference between TICI 2b and 3 exists, and to determine whether this relationship holds true for patients undergoing delayed thrombectomy (6-24 hours). ⋯ Higher baseline ASPECTS and higher degree of reperfusion following endovascular thrombectomy is associated with reduced likelihood of PH and sICH.

There are few data in the literature on the characteristics and natural history of intracranial arterial infundibular dilatations in children. ⋯ We present the largest reported cohort of pediatric intracranial arterial infundibula, which we found to be distinct from their adult counterparts with regard to location, etiology and temporal evolution. Growth over time and/or aneurysmal formation are rare, not necessitating frequent short-term imaging surveillance during childhood.
