Background Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) significantly improves outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. There is limited understanding of how the site of hospital ...

Background Several antithrombotic treatments during emergent carotid artery stenting (eCAS) have been proposed, but an appropriate protocol to balance risk–benefit is not well known. Objective To ...

Methods The study retrospectively included consecutive patients with recurrent ischemic stroke due to non-acute ICAO in the anterior circulation who underwent preoperative VWMRI evaluation and ...

Background Aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) on vessel wall imaging (VWI) scans is a robust biomarker for aneurysmal vulnerability. This study aimed to explore the association of different sleep ...

Background and purpose Collateral blood flow to the affected cerebral territory in acute ischemic stroke may modify the effect of intravenous alteplase treatment (IVT) prior to endovascular treatment ...

Background Endovascular embolization has been reported in limited case series and case reports as a minimally invasive option for managing refractory epilepsy, particularly in cases where traditional ...

Objective To improve early diagnosis of patients who have basilar artery occlusion (BAO) and to provide evidence for treatment decisions based on clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and ...

Background The ability to differentiate intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) related large vessel occlusion (LVO) from embolism is critical for stroke management. We hypothesized that the ...

Background This study aims to develop an interpretable machine learning model using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to predict favorable outcomes based on clinical, imaging, and angiographic data ...

Results In total, 148 procedures (132 patients, 138 aneurysms) were included, with 68 (46%) treated with PED Flex and 80 (54%) with PED Shield. Propensity score matching resulted in 47 matched pairs.

Background We describe and analyze a novel technique by which inflation of a proximal balloon guide catheter (BGC) permits tracking of distal catheter systems past vessel tortuosity and ledges like ...

Background Previous studies suggest that it may be inappropriate to determine treatment strategies solely based on the degree of stenosis for patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) ...
