Background Endovascular transvenous embolization of spinal cerebrospinal fluid–venous fistulas (CVFs) has been shown in small studies to be a safe and effective treatment for spontaneous intracranial ...

Background Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is common, with an incidence of up to 5/100,000, increasing with age. Surgery carries a recurrence risk of around 20%. Three randomized controlled trials ...

Background and purpose The Medina embolization device (MED) is a new flow disruption device combining the design of a detachable coil with an intrasaccular flow disrupter. Safety and short-term ...

Background Endovascular treatment (EVT) is a well-established approach for acute ischemic stroke. Whether bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before EVT confers any benefits remains uncertain. The ...

Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) is a high-risk condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality that may result from invasion and destruction of the cervical carotid vasculature from head ...

Background There is an ongoing debate on the preferred treatment of middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical and imaging outcomes comparing ...

Endovascular techniques for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms have rapidly evolved over the past 15 years since the introduction and subsequent US Food and Drug administration approval of the ...

Background We aimed to identify the large ischemic core (LIC) volume ranges in acute ischemic stroke patients that can benefit from mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Methods Consecutive patients within 24 ...

Background and purpose Limited data exist to guide patient selection for preventive treatment of unruptured cerebral aneurysms. Cerebral aneurysms have been associated with circle of Willis anomalies ...

Introduction The principle of minimum work, alternatively known as Murray’s Law, mathematically describes the ideal radii and two-dimensional bifurcation angles which minimize the energy required to ...

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 Flow-diverting stents (FDS) have revolutionized the treatment of large, giant, and wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. FDS promote thrombosis and aneurysm occlusion by redirecting blood flow ...
