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 ...

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 ...

Endovascular techniques for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms have rapidly evolved over the past 15 years since the introduction and subsequent US Food and Drug administration approval of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 Medium vessel occlusions (MeVOs) account for 25–40% of acute ischemic stroke. The Tenzing 5 (Route 92 Medical, San Mateo, California, USA) and FreeClimb 54 (Route 92 Medical, San Mateo, ...

The glymphatic system is a brain-wide waste clearance mechanism that mimics lymphatic functions and facilitates the removal of amyloid aggregates. It is supposed to be essential for maintaining ...

Background and purpose The Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) has been shown to effectively treat complex internal carotid artery aneurysms while maintaining patency of covered side branches. The ...

Background Nickel hypersensitivity is the most common metal related allergy. Nickel containing alloys are frequently used in endovascular devices. The use of intracranial stents in patients with ...

Background Rapid prehospital identification of acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusions (AIS-LVO) has been successful in triaging patients, but the use of stroke screening scales ...
