Background Patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) are prone to stroke recurrence despite aggressive medical treatment. Further assessment of the anatomy and physiology of ICAS is ...

Background Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a non-invasive, bedside tool that allows for real-time monitoring of the patient’s hemodynamic status following mechanical thrombectomy (MT). This systematic ...

Introduction India faces a substantial challenge in the management of stroke, a leading cause of mortality with risk factors amplified by lifestyle and environmental factors. This study aims to ...

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare condition accounting for <1% of all strokes, with highly variable clinical presentations ranging from a headache to coma.1–4 Although MRI and MR venography ...

Background A study was undertaken to determine the typical length, diameter and taper of vessels in the anterior cerebral circulation. Methods The sample size was calculated at 100 patients based on ...

Background The role of catheter angiography in the diagnosis and management of traumatic cerebrovascular injury has evolved rapidly with advances in CT and MR angiography and continued development of ...

Background Several animal studies have demonstrated that mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) may cause vessel wall injury (VWI). However, the histological changes in human ...

Background Evaluating a new endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms must not only demonstrate short-term safety and efficacy, but also evaluate longer-term outcomes (eg, delayed ...

Objectives This is the first FDA approved IDE study for mechanical thrombectomy to treat distal occlusions. DISTALS is a randomized study planned to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ...

Background Acute ischemic stroke often necessitates neuroendovascular interventions such as thrombectomy and, occasionally, stenting for large vessel occlusions or intracranial atherosclerotic disease ...

Introduction. Current treatment strategies employed for acute ischemic stroke remain pharmacologic thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy. Intravenous thrombolytic tissue plasminogen activator (tPA, ...

Introduction The LVIS Blue is an FDA-approved stent with 28% metallic coverage that is indicated for use in conjunction with coil embolization for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Given a ...
