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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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

This document aims to provide an update on indications for mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) from emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO) in the anterior circulation. This reflects ...

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 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 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 ...
