Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) has evolved considerably over the past decades. The technological advances have been driven by the experience that coils fail to completely ...

Background Thrombus radiomics (TR) describe complex shape and textural thrombus imaging features. We aimed to study the relationship of TR extracted from non-contrast CT with procedural and functional ...

Background Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are often excluded from clinical trials of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). This study investigated the outcome in these patients. Methods From ...

Background Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs) represents a significant proportion of overall stroke cases. While intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) has been a ...

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 Endovascular embolization is a feasible treatment for cranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs). New embolic agents aim to improve the success of DAVF embolization. Objective To assess ...

Objectives This is the first FDA approved IDE study for mechanical thrombectomy to treat distal occlusions. DISTALS is a randomized study planned to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ...

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

Neurovascular catheter technology has rapidly evolved over the past decade. While performance characteristics are well known to the practitioner, the design features of these new-generation catheters ...

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 ...

Background Robust venous outflow (VO) profiles, measured by degree of venous opacification on pre-thrombectomy CT angiography (CTA) studies, are strongly correlated with favorable outcomes in patients ...

Background Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke is generally avoided when the expected infarction is large (defined as an Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score of <6). Objective To ...
