Background Several antithrombotic treatments during emergent carotid artery stenting (eCAS) have been proposed, but an appropriate protocol to balance risk–benefit is not well known. Objective To ...

Background Whether rescue intracranial stenting (RIS) should be performed in patients with vertebrobasilar occlusions (VBO) refractory to endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (MT) remains an open ...

Background and purpose Collateral blood flow to the affected cerebral territory in acute ischemic stroke may modify the effect of intravenous alteplase treatment (IVT) prior to endovascular treatment ...

Background Although recently presented randomized trials have failed to prove an overall benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for patients with medium vessel occlusions (MeVOs), questions remain ...

Background The cumulative impact of radiation dose reduction strategies in acute hospital settings remains underreported. This study quantifies and compares cumulative radiation exposure in patients ...

Background and purpose Endovascular treatment (EVT) has become the standard of care for selected adult patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO), but its efficacy in pediatric patients remains ...

Background Endovascular treatment (EVT) failures and early reocclusions in stroke often result from arterial wall disease, incomplete thrombus withdrawal, or acute endothelial injury. Intracranial and ...

Background The ability to differentiate intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) related large vessel occlusion (LVO) from embolism is critical for stroke management. We hypothesized that the ...

Background This study aims to develop an interpretable machine learning model using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to predict favorable outcomes based on clinical, imaging, and angiographic data ...

Results In total, 148 procedures (132 patients, 138 aneurysms) were included, with 68 (46%) treated with PED Flex and 80 (54%) with PED Shield. Propensity score matching resulted in 47 matched pairs.

Background In this randomized controlled trial we aim to validate the efficacy and safety of a hydrogel vascular closure device (VCD) for hemostasis after transfemoral intervention. Methods Between ...

Background In intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), low fractional flow (FF) may indicate hemodynamic significance. Objective To investigate, using simulation models, whether invasive ...
