Background Medium vessel occlusion (MVO) mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has shown promising outcomes and safety profiles, comparable to those of large vessel occlusion thrombectomy. Objective To assess ...

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are an uncommon type of central nervous system vascular anomaly that have the potential to rupture and cause intracranial hemorrhage. AVM hemorrhagic risk ...

Background A1 hypoplasia is associated with anterior communicating artery (AcomA) aneurysms, but optimal imaging follow-up timing remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether concomitant ...

Background A carotid web (CaW) is a non-atheromatous, shelf-like intraluminal projection, commonly affecting the internal carotid artery. It can be associated with embolic stroke, particularly in ...

Background Posterior circulation (PC) aneurysms are associated with a higher risk of rupture. Flow diverters (FDs) are widely used for carotid intracranial aneurysms, but their role in PC aneurysms is ...

Objective Fractional flow (FF) reserve has been developed as a gold standard for coronary intervention. Intracranial FF is also a valuable hemodynamic index to assess the severity of narrowing in ...

Background Rates of durable aneurysm occlusion following coil embolization vary widely, and a better understanding of coil mass mechanics is desired. The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact ...

Background Flat detector computed tomography (FDCT) is widely used for periprocedural imaging in the angiography suite. Sine Spin FDCT (SFDCT) is the latest generation of cone beam CT using a double ...

Objective The rate of progression of the ischemic lesion is variable in patients with stroke. We tested the hypothesis that the tissue saving effect of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is greater in fast ...
