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 ...
The persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PTA) is a rare anastomosis between the carotid artery and basilar artery. While most PTAs are asymptomatic, lateral variants can occasionally compress the ...
Background The Magic microcatheter is a commonly used flow directed microcatheter for endovascular neurointervention. This microcatheter family is one of the smallest and softest microcatheters on the ...
The effectiveness of middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization for chronic subdural hematoma is well established,1–3 and distal and multibranch penetration of embolic agents is recognized as a key ...
Background For large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic strokes, three major techniques of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) have demonstrated efficacy. Here we compare the safety and efficacy of stent ...
Background Studies suggest head positioning may impact cerebral venous outflow by creating dynamic stenosis in the internal jugular veins (IJVs) in susceptible individuals. Objective To examine the ...
Background Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a prognostic indicator in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) thought to reflect systemic inflammation driving secondary brain injury. Recent evidence ...
Background Endovascular thrombectomy achieves macroreperfusion in large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke, but only one-quarter of patients had excellent functional outcome. Adjunct intra-arterial (IA) ...
Background and purpose Flow diverters (FDs) have become one of the primary treatments for intracranial aneurysms (IAs). However, their use in distal IA has been associated with higher complication ...
Introduction Headache is a common and disabling symptom after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), often requiring high-dose opioids. Meningeal inflammation and dural nociceptor activation may ...
Objective To evaluate the potential of pericarotid adipose tissue radiomics to improve the prediction of in-stent restenosis (ISR) after carotid artery stenting (CAS). Methods This retrospective study ...
