Background Endovascular treatment has increasingly become the first-line treatment for spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs); however, problems of lower initial complete occlusion rates ...

Objective Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is a leading cause of ischemic stroke worldwide. The objective of this study is to evaluate the association of three-dimensional high-resolution ...

High-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) is becoming a useful tool in the characterization and identification of unstable unruptured brain aneurysms. However, it has not been validated for ...

Background We aimed to identify the large ischemic core (LIC) volume ranges in acute ischemic stroke patients that can benefit from mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Methods Consecutive patients within 24 ...

Introduction The principle of minimum work, alternatively known as Murray’s Law, mathematically describes the ideal radii and two-dimensional bifurcation angles which minimize the energy required to ...

Background The River stent is the first stent specifically designed for intracranial venous sinuses. We report the 1-year results of the River trial, performed to obtain Humanitarian Device Exemption ...

Background Preliminary clinical studies on the safety and efficacy of the pipeline embolization device (PED) for the treatment of small/medium aneurysms have demonstrated high occlusion rates with low ...

Background Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) at the craniocervical junction are uncommon but clinically important abnormalities. Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients ...

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) represent the most frequent spinal arteriovenous malformation and have an ominous natural history if left untreated. In the present review, we describe the ...

Background Cerebrovascular infundibular dilations (IDs) are triangular-shaped widenings less than 3 mm in diameter, which are most commonly found at the posterior communicating artery (PCoA). The aims ...

Background Recent studies support the effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs). The RED 43 catheter has been introduced as a primary catheter for ...

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 ...
