The Massachusetts General Hospital Neuroradiology Division employed an experience and evidence based approach to develop a neuroimaging algorithm to best select patients with severe ischemic strokes ...

Background Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) significantly improves outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. There is limited understanding of how the site of hospital ...

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 ...

Methods The study retrospectively included consecutive patients with recurrent ischemic stroke due to non-acute ICAO in the anterior circulation who underwent preoperative VWMRI evaluation and ...

Background Aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) on vessel wall imaging (VWI) scans is a robust biomarker for aneurysmal vulnerability. This study aimed to explore the association of different sleep ...

Background and purpose Collateral blood flow to the affected cerebral territory in acute ischemic stroke may modify the effect of intravenous alteplase treatment (IVT) prior to endovascular treatment ...

Background Endovascular embolization has been reported in limited case series and case reports as a minimally invasive option for managing refractory epilepsy, particularly in cases where traditional ...

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 ...

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 ...
