Fellows’ Journal Club Flow diverters can be successfully placed via the transradial approach with high technical success, low access site complications, and a low femoral crossover rate.
Fellows’ Journal Club Most patients in this study with idiopathic intracranial hypertension had extrinsic stenosis, and most patients with pulsatile tinnitus had intrinsic stenosis. Awareness and reporting of these subtypes may reduce the under-recognition of potential contributory stenoses in a
Fellows’ Journal Club The aneurysm neck located on the outer convexity is a new, incomplete occlusion predictor, joining older age, fusiform aneurysms, and aneurysms with the branching artery from the dome. No permanent neurologic deficits or rupture were observed in
Fellows’ Journal Club In a retrospective multicenter study, all patients treated with the FRED for a ruptured intracranial blister-like aneurysm between January 2013 and May 2019 were analyzed. In total, 30 patients with 30 ruptured blister-like aneurysms were treated. Immediate
Editor’s Choice Endovascular optical coherence tomography imaging was feasible in this preclinical animal study. Adoption of this imaging technique in the human cerebral venous sinus could aid in the diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of the pathophysiology of various diseases of
Fellows’ Journal Club Consecutive ischemic stroke and TIA admissions (COVID and non-COVID) to the authors’ hospital during a 10-week period from March 1 to May 10, 2020 were collected and compared with data from the same time period in 2019.
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors analyzed consecutive MR imaging–selected patients with acute basilar artery occlusions endovascularly treated within the first 24 hours after symptom onset. Successful and complete reperfusion was defined as modified TICI scores 2b–3 and 3, respectively. Outcome
Editor’s Choice With a mean follow-up of approximately 15 months, the authors evaluated 41 cases of wide-neck aneurysms. Overall, 78.8% of the aneurysms had complete occlusion in the last follow-up, and 19.5% required retreatment with additional endovascular devices. A good
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors evaluated a total of 426 unruptured aneurysms and 169 ruptured aneurysms that underwent coil embolization in their institution between January 2009 and December 2017. Recanalization occurred in 38 (8.9%) of 426 unruptured aneurysms and 37
Editor’s Choice The authors retrospectively reviewed a nationwide surveillance to identify risk factors contributing to complications and short-term clinical outcomes in the endovascular treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations. A total of 1042 endovascular procedures (788 patients) performed in 111 institutions
