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 ...

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 and purpose The Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) has been shown to effectively treat complex internal carotid artery aneurysms while maintaining patency of covered side branches. The ...

Objectives To reduce occupational radiation exposure in a hybrid operating room (OR) used for three-dimensional (3D) image guided spine procedures. The effects of staff positioning, different X-ray ...

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 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 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 ...

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 ...

Purpose Intracranial atherosclerotic disease-related large vessel occlusions (ICAD-LVO) treated with thrombectomy commonly present with higher baseline eTICI. We aim to evaluate the interplay between ...

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 ...

Introduction In pediatric populations, Moyamoya disease (MMD) manifests more aggressively, often requiring surgical intervention, such as extracranial-to-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass, to restore ...

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 ...
