Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the subclavian loop catheter technique for endovascular stenting of vertebral artery ostial stenosis (VAOS). Methods We retrospectively reviewed all ...

Background Tirofiban is widely used in ischemic stroke, but its safety and efficacy during stenting of perforator-rich intracranial arteries are unclear. We speculate that prophylactic use of an intra ...

Background and objectives Flow diversion for middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysms remains challenging due to jailed branch considerations and limited evidence. We aimed to evaluate the ...

Background and objective Venous manometry (VM) is the reference standard for confirming hemodynamically significant transverse sinus stenosis (TSS) in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).

Introduction Pretreatment with dual antiplatelet agents (DAPT) has been standard practice for patients undergoing aneurysm treatment with flow diversion (FD). Rates of periprocedural diffusion lesions ...

Background Dynamic internal jugular vein (IJV) stenosis has been demonstrated with 90 degree head rotation, often producing large trans-stenotic pressure gradients and elevations in intracranial ...

Background The Magic microcatheter is a commonly used flow directed microcatheter for endovascular neurointervention. This microcatheter family is one of the smallest and softest microcatheters on the ...

Background Endovascular treatment (EVT) is an important treatment for symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS). However, restenosis limits its long-term efficacy, and some patients ...

The effectiveness of middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization for chronic subdural hematoma is well established,1–3 and distal and multibranch penetration of embolic agents is recognized as a key ...

Background For large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic strokes, three major techniques of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) have demonstrated efficacy. Here we compare the safety and efficacy of stent ...
