This document aims to provide an update on indications for mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) from emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO) in the anterior circulation. This reflects ...

Background Rapid prehospital identification of acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusions (AIS-LVO) has been successful in triaging patients, but the use of stroke screening scales ...

Background and purpose Flow arrest with balloon guide catheters (BGCs) is becoming increasingly recognized as critical to optimizing patient outcomes for mechanical thrombectomy. We performed a ...

Background Substantial clinical evidence supporting the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for distal occlusions within the posterior circulation is still missing. This study aims to investigate ...

Background Initial studies investigating correlations between stroke etiology and clot composition are conflicting and do not account for clot size as determined by area. Radiological studies have ...

Objective Our study aimed to compare the outcome after middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles and tris-acryl gelatin microspheres (TAGMs) in patients with ...

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 Treated aneurysms must be followed over time to ensure durable occlusion, as more than 20% of endovascularly treated aneurysms recur. While digital subtraction angiography (DSA) remains the ...

Background The optimal threshold or range for systolic blood pressure (SBP) control in patients with successful reperfusion after endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains ...

Background The prediction of rupture in intracranial aneurysms is challenging. Aneurysm growth has been identified as a strong risk factor for rupture and aneurysm wall motion is a potential biomarker ...

Background Malignant cerebral edema (MCE) following basilar artery occlusion (BAO) thrombectomy is a critical, yet understudied, complication. Objective To investigate the incidence, predictors, and ...

We thank the authors for their insightful comments on our recent publication which is a comparative meta-analysis of single plane and biplane angiosuites in the treatment of mechanical thrombectomy of ...
