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 ...

Introduction External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is a life-saving neurosurgical procedure used to divert cerebrospinal fluid and reduce intracranial pressure in conditions such as subarachnoid ...

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 ...

Background This study assessed caliber and flow changes of covered cortical middle cerebral artery (MCA) branches using the new Caliber-Flow Status Scale (CFSS), postoperative diffusion-weighted ...

Wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms (WNBAs) make up 26–36% of all brain aneurysms. Treatments for WNBAs pose unique challenges due to the need to preserve major bifurcation vessels while achieving a ...

Background Flow diverters have revolutionized the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Nevertheless, some aneurysms fail to occlude with flow diversion. The Prospective Study on Embolization of ...

Objective Stroke may occur during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) due to debris dislodgement into intracranial arteries. Sentinel Cerebral Protection System is a filter device designed ...

Objective AngioSuite was developed to allow the easy and accurate calculation of cerebral aneurysm volumes and packing densities. The present study was undertaken to validate its accuracy. Methods ...
