Background The Drivewire 24 (DW24) is a newly FDA-cleared 0.024 inch steerable guidewire. Its proximally controlled deflectable tip allows for intravascular steering to facilitate selective navigation ...

Results A total of 161 patients with intracranial aneurysms accompanied by parent artery stenosis were ultimately included for in-depth analysis. The procedures were successfully performed in all ...

Large vessel occlusion causing acute ischemic stroke is ideally treated with endovascular clot retrieval, which is increasingly being performed via direct aspiration thrombectomy. Successful ...

Background Blood urea/creatinine (U/Cr) ratio is considered to be an ideal biomarker of dehydration. We investigated the association between the U/Cr ratio trajectory and delayed cerebral ischemia ...

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 ...

The most recent evolution of the device includes the development of shallow devices for small sizes of WEB SL with a limited height that have two main benefits. First, they permit the treatment of ...

Endovascular recanalization of non-acute intracranial occlusion in the setting of recurrent stroke is a frontier of neurointervention that has not been well explored. Careful consideration and ...

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 Endovascular embolization has been reported in limited case series and case reports as a minimally invasive option for managing refractory epilepsy, particularly in cases where traditional ...

Results 134 patients were enrolled from 10 stroke centers. The primary endpoint was reached in 97 patients (81.5%, 95% CI 74.5% to 88.5%). In patients who failed the primary endpoint, TICI 2b/3 was ...

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 ...

Results In the derivation cohort, 390 patients were classified as ICAD and 720 as embolism. The ICAD group had a higher mismatch ratio (9.8 vs 3.6, P<0.001). The mismatch ratio outperformed age and ...
