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 ...

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 ...

Background The impact of renal function on patients receiving endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) remains uncertain due to inconsistent results from previous studies. We investigated the effects of ...

Introduction Implementation of standardized algorithms and EMS transport to centers with catheter-based capabilities have impacted time-to-treatment and functional outcomes in ischemic cardiac ...

Unpacking the problem—the hidden waste in neurointerventional procedures: quantifying packaging waste in neurointerventional supply chains ...

Background Current studies on clot characterization in acute ischemic stroke focus on fibrin and red blood cell composition. Few studies have examined platelet composition in acute ischemic stroke ...

Introduction Infectious intracranial aneurysms (IIAs) are rare but serious complications of systemic infections, particularly infective endocarditis. These aneurysms are prone to rupture, leading to ...

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 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 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 ...
