Background Preoperative embolization has been used for intracranial meningiomas for nearly 40 years with varying preferences for embolic materials and limited comparative data on their efficacy.

Background Approximately one in three patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) suffer from a premorbid disability prior to their incident AIS. These patients have largely been excluded from clinical ...

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the preliminary experience of a combined middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) and burr hole evacuation approach for chronic subdural hematoma ...

Background Endovascular embolization is an accepted treatment modality for brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVM); however, treatment outcomes are highly variable, warranting accurate prediction for ...

Objective Fractional flow (FF) reserve has been developed as a gold standard for coronary intervention. Intracranial FF is also a valuable hemodynamic index to assess the severity of narrowing in ...

Background The impact of stent retriever size on mechanical thrombectomy (MT) outcomes remains uncertain. We aim to clarify the influence of stent retriever size on MT outcomes by analyzing data from ...

Background Vertebral hemangiomas are incidental and typically, asymptomatic lesions of the spine, present in 10–12% of the population. However, aggressive vertebral hemangiomas (AVHs) can compromise ...

Background Endovascular therapy (EVT) has revolutionized the treatment of acute stroke, but large vessel recanalization does not always result in tissue-level reperfusion. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is ...

Relevance of cervical internal carotid artery patency after thrombectomy in tandem occlusion. Are we missing an opportunity to revascularize?
