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 This study evaluated the performance of the newer-generation Emboguard Balloon Guide Catheter (EBGC) in treating anterior circulation large vessel occlusions (LVOs). Methods A prospectively ...

Background Flow diverters have revolutionized the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. However, the delayed complications associated with flow diverter use are unknown. Objective To evaluate the ...

Background Acute ischemic stroke often necessitates neuroendovascular interventions such as thrombectomy and, occasionally, stenting for large vessel occlusions or intracranial atherosclerotic disease ...

Background Cerebrospinal fluid-venous fistulas (CSFVF) are a common cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). Transvenous embolization has emerged as a reliable treatment option. We review ...

Background The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is a novel intrasaccular flow disruptor tailored for bifurcation aneurysms. We aim to describe the degree of aneurysm occlusion at the latest follow-up, ...

Background A study was undertaken to determine the typical length, diameter and taper of vessels in the anterior cerebral circulation. Methods The sample size was calculated at 100 patients based on ...

Background The Contour Neurovascular System (CNS, Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI) has a unique design that allows it to address various aneurysm morphologies, including wide-necked, irregular, and ...

Background Patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) are prone to stroke recurrence despite aggressive medical treatment. Further assessment of the anatomy and physiology of ICAS is ...

Background Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a non-invasive, bedside tool that allows for real-time monitoring of the patient’s hemodynamic status following mechanical thrombectomy (MT). This systematic ...

Introduction Low Profile Visible Intraluminal Support Device (LVIS D) is a self-expanding braided low porosity microstent indicated for stent-assisted coil embolization (SAC) of unruptured ...

Objectives This is the first FDA approved IDE study for mechanical thrombectomy to treat distal occlusions. DISTALS is a randomized study planned to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ...
