Introduction Infectious intracranial aneurysms (IIAs) are rare but serious complications of systemic infections, particularly infective endocarditis. These aneurysms are prone to rupture, leading to ...

The glymphatic system is a brain-wide waste clearance mechanism that mimics lymphatic functions and facilitates the removal of amyloid aggregates. It is supposed to be essential for maintaining ...

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 ...

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 ...

The River Stent trial is a single-arm, open-label study validating the value of intracranial stents to treat symptomatic venous sinus stenosis in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension ...

Background Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common neurosurgical condition, and middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAe) has been demonstrated as an effective technique due to the advantages ...

Purpose Rapid revascularization in stroke thrombectomy is associated with improved outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to intracranial large vessel occlusion (LVO). Higher first-pass ...

Background Across a wide range of tasks it has been shown that workers switching between different activities have ‘switching costs’ due to slower performance and increased errors. Scheduling similar ...

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