Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disease with high morbidity and mortality.1 In principle, the surgical removal of ICH should benefit the patient by removing the source of the primary ...

Background and purpose Large vessel occlusion (LVO) is a major cause of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Identifying its underlying etiology, particularly intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), is ...

Background and objectives Acute occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) accompanied by contralateral A1 segment agenesis (CA-A1) presents distinct clinical and radiological features.

Background The impact of parent artery stenosis on the treatment of intracranial aneurysms by using flow diversion (FD) remains unknown. This multicenter retrospective study aimed to evaluate the ...

Background This study evaluated the performance of the newer-generation Emboguard Balloon Guide Catheter (EBGC) in treating anterior circulation large vessel occlusions (LVOs). Methods A prospectively ...

Background Despite high recanalization rates with endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for large vessel occlusions, functional outcomes remain suboptimal. This study investigates whether adjunctive ...

Background Predicting the final infarct after an extended time window mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is beneficial for treatment planning in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). By introducing guidance from ...

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 ...

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 ...

Background A critical evaluation of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendation to avoid intracranial stent placement (ICAS) within 7 days of a qualifying cerebral ischemic event. Methods ...

Background/Aim Endovascular stroke therapy (EVT) improves functional outcome and reduces mortality in patients with large vessel occlusion. However, data on risk factors for early mortality after EVT ...

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 ...
