Background Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is common, with an incidence of up to 5/100,000, increasing with age. Surgery carries a recurrence risk of around 20%. Three randomized controlled trials ...

Background There is an ongoing debate on the preferred treatment of middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical and imaging outcomes comparing ...

Background Endovascular treatment (EVT) is a well-established approach for acute ischemic stroke. Whether bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before EVT confers any benefits remains uncertain. The ...

Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) is a high-risk condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality that may result from invasion and destruction of the cervical carotid vasculature from head ...

Background and purpose The Medina embolization device (MED) is a new flow disruption device combining the design of a detachable coil with an intrasaccular flow disrupter. Safety and short-term ...

Introduction The principle of minimum work, alternatively known as Murray’s Law, mathematically describes the ideal radii and two-dimensional bifurcation angles which minimize the energy required to ...

Endovascular techniques for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms have rapidly evolved over the past 15 years since the introduction and subsequent US Food and Drug administration approval of the ...

Background We aimed to identify the large ischemic core (LIC) volume ranges in acute ischemic stroke patients that can benefit from mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Methods Consecutive patients within 24 ...

Background and purpose Limited data exist to guide patient selection for preventive treatment of unruptured cerebral aneurysms. Cerebral aneurysms have been associated with circle of Willis anomalies ...

Background Predicting the final infarct after an extended time window mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is beneficial for treatment planning in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). By introducing guidance from ...

Background Data on large vessel strokes are important for resource allocation and infrastructure development. Objective To determine an annual incidence of large vessel occlusions (LVOs) and a ...

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 ...
