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 ...

The 15th anniversary of the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) embolization device (Terumo NeuroVascular, Aliso Viejo, CA, USA) represents a landmark moment in endovascular intervention for the treatment of ...

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 ...

Objective To improve early diagnosis of patients who have basilar artery occlusion (BAO) and to provide evidence for treatment decisions based on clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Background Mechanical thrombectomy for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke has undergone relevant technical improvements over recent years. However, distal emboli and incomplete reperfusion after ...
