Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are an uncommon type of central nervous system vascular anomaly that have the potential to rupture and cause intracranial hemorrhage. AVM hemorrhagic risk ...

Correspondence to Dr Peter Kan, Department of Neurosurgery, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA; peter.kan{at}bcm.edu We report an unusual case in which physiologic neck rotation impeded ...

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 ...

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 ...

Introduction Infectious intracranial aneurysms (IIAs) are rare but serious complications of systemic infections, particularly infective endocarditis. These aneurysms are prone to rupture, leading to ...

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

Background Flow diverters (FDs) are increasingly used off-label for distal cerebral aneurysms (DCAs), those located at or beyond the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) A2, middle cerebral artery M2, and ...

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 Posterior circulation (PC) aneurysms are associated with a higher risk of rupture. Flow diverters (FDs) are widely used for carotid intracranial aneurysms, but their role in PC aneurysms is ...

Background Off-hour admissions can adversely affect clinical outcomes, though evidence in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) associated with large vessel occlusion (LVO) remains limited. This ...

Background Medium vessel occlusion (MVO) mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has shown promising outcomes and safety profiles, comparable to those of large vessel occlusion thrombectomy. Objective To assess ...
