Background and purpose The Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) has been shown to effectively treat complex internal carotid artery aneurysms while maintaining patency of covered side branches. The ...

Background Endovascular therapy (EVT) is standard treatment for large vessel occlusion in patients with a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥6, but its role in mild stroke ...

Background Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) significantly improves outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. There is limited understanding of how the site of hospital ...

Background Rapid prehospital identification of acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusions (AIS-LVO) has been successful in triaging patients, but the use of stroke screening scales ...

Background Advanced-stage head and neck cancers are associated with high morbidity and mortality, often requiring complex therapeutic interventions. In cases of tumor-associated hemorrhage, ...

Background While robotic assisted technology has advanced in cardiovascular interventions, neurovascular applications still lack a robotic system. To assess the safety and efficacy of novel robotic ...

Background Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) poses significant challenges to global healthcare systems, emphasizing the need for effective treatment modalities such as mechanical thrombectomy (MT). The ...

Background Endovascular treatment has increasingly become the first-line treatment for spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs); however, problems of lower initial complete occlusion rates ...

Background Initial studies investigating correlations between stroke etiology and clot composition are conflicting and do not account for clot size as determined by area. Radiological studies have ...

Background Substantial clinical evidence supporting the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for distal occlusions within the posterior circulation is still missing. This study aims to investigate ...

Background Treated aneurysms must be followed over time to ensure durable occlusion, as more than 20% of endovascularly treated aneurysms recur. While digital subtraction angiography (DSA) remains the ...

Background Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are uncommon vascular lesions, and hemorrhage secondary to AVM rupture results in significant morbidity and mortality. AVMs may be treated by ...
