Background Blood urea/creatinine (U/Cr) ratio is considered to be an ideal biomarker of dehydration. We investigated the association between the U/Cr ratio trajectory and delayed cerebral ischemia ...

Objective This study aimed to examine the effect of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) on vascular luminal dilatational remodeling (VLDR) following simple balloon angioplasty. Methods A retrospective cohort ...

Background Venous vascular malformations (VVMs) are congenital vascular anomalies, often impacting quality of life due to discomfort, swelling, and functional impairments. This study evaluates the ...

Introduction The optimal guidelines for post-mechanical thrombectomy (MT) blood pressure (BP) management are not well established. While observational studies have shown benefits of lowering BP in ...

(6) Where ‘D’ is the inner lumen diameter of the catheter, ‘µ’ is the dynamic viscosity of blood, and ‘L’ is the length of the catheter.Some assumptions are required to apply this relationship, ...

Background In contrast to conventional CT perfusion (CTP) imaging, flat panel detector CT perfusion (FD-CTP) imaging can be acquired directly in the angiosuite. Objective To evaluate time-resolved ...

Neurovascular catheter technology has rapidly evolved over the past decade. While performance characteristics are well known to the practitioner, the design features of these new-generation catheters ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Background Transvenous embolization (TVE), such as selective shunt occlusion, is the first line treatment for cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula (CSDAVF). Despite the favorable outcomes of ...

Background Despite successful recanalization via mechanical thrombectomy (MT), only half of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients achieve functional independence. Post-MT hemodynamic features are ...
