Background and purpose Evidence for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with very large perfusion-defined infarct core stroke remains limited. Methods We performed a retrospective multicenter ...
Background Endovascular embolization of intracranial meningiomas has traditionally served as a preoperative adjunct but has been sporadically described as a standalone treatment. We present the ...
Background Venous congestion is associated with tissue swelling in multiple organ systems. In idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), its effects on brain parenchyma are less well defined, but may ...
Over the past decade the landscape of stroke and neurointerventional research has undergone a tectonic shift. A field once ...
Background Six randomized controlled trials have concluded their investigations on the efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for patients with large infarcts. To synthesize the ...
Background Venous sinus stenting (VSS) is recognized as a safe and effective intervention for medically-refractory idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). However, its long-term efficacy remains ...
Background Patients with minor stroke and M2 occlusion undergoing best medical management (BMM) may face early neurological deterioration (END) that can lead to poor long-term outcome. In case of END, ...
Background A sizeable proportion of stroke patients with large vessel occlusion present with minor neurological deficits. Whether mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is beneficial in these patients is ...

Background In acute ischemic stroke due to anterior large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO), accessing the target occluded vessel for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is sometimes impossible through the femoral ...
Background While dual antiplatelet therapy (dAPT) is standard of care following carotid artery stenting (CAS), the optimal dAPT regimen and duration has not been established. Methods We canvassed a ...
Background Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAP) is necessary to prevent thromboembolic events during carotid stenting, stent-assisted coil embolization, and implant of flow diverters (FD). However, DAP in ...
