Background Several antithrombotic treatments during emergent carotid artery stenting (eCAS) have been proposed, but an appropriate protocol to balance risk–benefit is not well known. Objective To ...

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 ...

Methods Data from all MeVO patients who underwent MT with the APERIO or APERIO Hybrid 17 as a first-line technique were prospectively included. The primary endpoint was the successful recanalization ...

Background The cumulative impact of radiation dose reduction strategies in acute hospital settings remains underreported. This study quantifies and compares cumulative radiation exposure in patients ...

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 ...

Background and purpose Endovascular treatment (EVT) has become the standard of care for selected adult patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO), but its efficacy in pediatric patients remains ...

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 ...

Background The ability to differentiate intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) related large vessel occlusion (LVO) from embolism is critical for stroke management. We hypothesized that the ...

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 ...

Results In total, 148 procedures (132 patients, 138 aneurysms) were included, with 68 (46%) treated with PED Flex and 80 (54%) with PED Shield. Propensity score matching resulted in 47 matched pairs.

Background Previous studies suggest that it may be inappropriate to determine treatment strategies solely based on the degree of stenosis for patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) ...

Background Carotid artery web (CW) is an under-recognized cause of cryptogenic stroke, with variability in practice and controversy regarding its optimal management. Due to the lack of society ...
