Background Endovascular embolization is a feasible treatment for cranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs). New embolic agents aim to improve the success of DAVF embolization. Objective To assess ...

Mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion presenting with acute ischemic stroke is evidently in its Tower of Babel stage, inundated with increasing numbers of acronym-focused techniques all ...

Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EVT) is widely accepted as the first-line treatment for acute ischemic stroke in patients with large vessel occlusion. Being an invasive treatment, this method is ...

The response1 from the principal investigators of the Stenting and Aggressive Medical Management for the Prevention of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke (SAMMPRIS) trial2 is greatly appreciated. Healthy ...

Background Vessel wall MRI (VWMRI) can reveal the morphological features of intracranial artery occlusion (ICAO). This study aimed to investigate the imaging features of ICAO on VWMRI and explore ...

Background It is unclear whether patients with severely disabling ischemic stroke (SDIS—that is, modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores of 3–5) benefit from non-acute endovascular recanalization (ER).

Background and purpose Alternative metrics (altmetrics), based on mentions in online media, is a new tool that can help to identify the most influential articles to diverse public audiences. This ...

Background and purpose Wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms pose a significant challenge to the treating clinician. The Contour Neurovascular System embolization device is a novel tool for the treatment ...

Background The optimal management of tandem carotid lesions during endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) remains uncertain. The safety and efficacy of acute carotid artery stenting (aCAS) are debated, ...

Background Isolated anterior cerebral artery occlusions (ACAo) in patients with acute ischemic stroke present significant challenges due to their rarity. The efficacy and safety of endovascular ...

Background Cangrelor, an intravenous P2Y12-receptor inhibitor, is a reversible and short-acting antithrombotic medication non-inferior to irreversible glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPIs) like ...

Background and Purpose Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is generally considered to be a critical complication. The objective of our study was to evaluate ...
