Introduction External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is a life-saving neurosurgical procedure used to divert cerebrospinal fluid and reduce intracranial pressure in conditions such as subarachnoid ...

Background This study assessed caliber and flow changes of covered cortical middle cerebral artery (MCA) branches using the new Caliber-Flow Status Scale (CFSS), postoperative diffusion-weighted ...

Triage describes the assignment of resources based on where they can be best used, are most needed, or are most likely to achieve success. Triage is of particular importance in time-critical ...

Background and Purpose Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is generally considered to be a critical complication. The objective of our study was to evaluate ...

Background Complete clot ingestion (CCI) is defined as full ingestion of the clot into the catheter or pump canister without any external clot remnants at the catheter tip. The aim of this study was ...

In recent years, venous sinus stenting (VSS) has emerged as an effective surgical treatment for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) with concomitant venous sinus stenosis. Meta-analyses of ...

Background Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the standard-of-care treatment for stroke patients with emergent large vessel occlusions. Despite this, little is known about physician decision making ...

Background Few studies have compared the outcomes of bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before mechanical thrombectomy (MT) with those of direct MT in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion ...

Background The safety and efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes associated with infective endocarditis (IE) compared with medical management (MM) is ...

Background Flow diverters have revolutionized the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Nevertheless, some aneurysms fail to occlude with flow diversion. The Prospective Study on Embolization of ...

Background Pipeline embolization device (PED) deployment combined with coil therapy for large complex intracranial aneurysms is effective and considered superior to PED deployment alone. However, the ...
