Background and Purpose: The time from arterial puncture to successful recanalization is an important milestone toward timely recanalization. With the significant improvement in recanalization rates by using thrombectomy devices, procedural time to recanalization is becoming a determinant factor in choosing among available devices. We aimed to assess the impact of time to recanalization on the outcome of intra-arterial stroke therapies.
Background and Purpose: Reperfusion following intra-arterial stroke therapy is associated with improved clinical outcomes. However, the degree of reperfusion needed to achieve successful outcomes is unknown. The purpose of this analysis was to determine whether the degree of reperfusion has an impact on final infarct volumes and clinical outcomes.
Background and Purpose: IV FDCT angiography is an emerging technology for the detection of intracranial vascular disease. This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of IV FDCT in estimating major atherosclerotic intracranial arterial stenosis with DSA as the reference.
Background and Purpose: 3DRA is considered the reference standard for the assessment of intracranial aneurysm morphology. However, it has been shown that 3DRA may overestimate neck size compared with 2D DSA. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of neck size overestimation with 3DRA on intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics.
Background and Purpose: Absence of the MCA susceptibility vessel sign (negative MCA susceptibility vessel sign) on gradient recalled-echo MR imaging in acute stroke is commonly associated with in situ stenosis and thrombotic occlusion. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the Solitaire stent as the first-line device for the recanalization of MCA occlusion with a negative MCA susceptibility vessel sign
Background and Purpose: The relative merits of treating ruptured aneurysms with clipping versus coiling continue to be a topic of debate. We evaluated a national, multihospital patient data base to examine recent trends in ruptured aneurysm therapies and to compare peri-procedural outcomes between clipping and coiling treatments.
Background: The decision of whether to treat incidental intracranial saccular aneurysms is complicated by limitations in current knowledge of their natural history. We combined individual patient data from prospective cohort studies to determine predictors of aneurysm rupture and to construct a risk prediction chart to estimate 5-year aneurysm rupture risk by risk factor status.
Background: Arterial ischaemic stroke is an important cause of acquired brain injury in children. Few prospective population-based studies of childhood arterial ischaemic stroke have been undertaken. We aimed to investigate the epidemiology and clinical features of childhood arterial ischaemic stroke in a population-based cohort.
Introduction: Filling defects at the internal carotid artery (ICA) origin in the work-up of stroke or transient ischemic attack may be an ulcerated plaque or free-floating thrombus (FFT). This may be challenging to distinguish, as they can appear morphologically similar. This is an important distinction as FFT can potentially embolize distally, and its management differs. We describe a series of patients with suspected FFT and evaluate its imaging appearance, clinical features, and evolution with therapy.
Introduction: Infundibula are symmetrical funnel-shaped widening, measuring more than 3 mm at its base with the branch artery arising from its apex. The pathological significance of this entity remains controversial. Although a relatively common appearance in otherwise normal angiograms, they have occasionally been described to progress into saccular aneurysms or directly rupture.
Introduction: This study aims to investigate the clinical significance of post-interventional cerebral hyperdensities (PCHD) after endovascular mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischaemic stroke.
Introduction: This study assessed volume changes of unruptured large and giant aneurysms (greatest diameter >20 mm) after treatment with flow diverter (FD) stents.
Introduction: This study aims to test a novel balloon expandable stent covered with a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (neurovascular embolization cover (NEC), NFocus Neuromedical, Palo Alto, California) regarding angiographic and histologic aneurysm occlusion. Radiopacity, stent placement, navigation, flexibility, and intimal proliferation were also evaluated.
Introduction: In this study, we analyzed angiographic and histologic aneurysm occlusion of a newly designed flow-diverting device. Visibility and flexibility, as well as occlusions of side branches and neointimal proliferation were also evaluated.
Introduction: Embolization of intracranial tumor is widely performed in Japan, mainly before neurosurgical resection. A retrospective, multicenter, observational study in Japan was conducted to clarify the nature, frequency, and risk factors of complications in intracranial tumor embolization.
