The glymphatic system is a brain-wide waste clearance mechanism that mimics lymphatic functions and facilitates the removal of amyloid aggregates. It is supposed to be essential for maintaining ...

Background Intracranial occlusion recanalization fails in 20% of endovascular thrombectomy procedures, and thrombus composition is likely to be an important factor. In this study, we demonstrate that ...

Background Deep learning using clinical and imaging data may improve pre-treatment prognostication in ischemic stroke patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). Methods Deep learning models ...

The management of intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) has been evolving with advanced imaging, refinements of best medical treatment, and the development of endovascular options. There has ...

Flow-diverting stents (FDs) for the treatment of cerebrovascular aneurysms are revolutionary. However, these devices require systemic dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to reduce thromboembolic ...

Introduction Larger-bore microcatheters in a wedged position within the divisions of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) may augment distal penetration of liquid embolics during embolization. In ...

Background Recent studies support the effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs). The RED 43 catheter has been introduced as a primary catheter for ...

Background Numerous stroke severity scales have been published, but few have been studied with emergency medical services (EMS) in the prehospital setting. We studied the Vision, Aphasia, Neglect (VAN ...

Objective Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a neurological condition characterized by impaired gait, cognitive decline, and urinary incontinence. Endovascular shunting using the eShunt Implant ...

Background Performing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is currently not evidence-based. Objective To compare patients’ outcome, relative merits of achieving ...
