Editor’s Choice Using imaging data from the Sedation versus Intubation for Endovascular Stroke TreAtment (SIESTA) trial, the authors assessed collateral status with the score of Tan et al and graded it from absent to good collaterals (0–3). They examined the
Fellows’ Journal Club Sixty-two patients with acute basilar artery occlusion underwent multimodal endovascular therapy with stent-retriever thrombectomy as a first-line endovascular therapy. Patients with underlying intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis underwent additional intracranial angioplasty and stent placement. Underlying intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis was
Editor’s Choice The authors intended to treat 33 aneurysms between January 2010 and December 2015 with temporary stent-assisted coiling, which formed the series for this study. Incidental and acutely ruptured aneurysms were included. Sufficient occlusion was achieved in 97.1% of
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors report their experience treating basilar apex aneurysms with flow-diverter stents and evaluate their efficacy and safety profile in this specific condition. Of the 175 aneurysms treated with flow-diverter stents at their institution, 5 patients received
Editor’s Choice The authors evaluated the potential relationship between thrombus histology and clot stability in 85 patients with anterior circulation stroke treated with thrombectomy. The number and location of emboli after retrieving the primary thrombus, the number of maneuvers, and
Editor’s Choice Five patients with brain arteriovenous malformations were studied with flat panel detector CT, DSC-MR imaging, and vessel-encoded pseudocontinuous arterial spin-labeling. Flat panel detector CT, which was originally thought to measure blood volume, correlated more closely with ASL-CBF and
Fellows’ Journal Club Ten C-arm conebeam CT perfusion datasets from 10 subjects with acute ischemic stroke acquired before endovascular treatment were retrospectively processed to generate time-resolved conebeam CTA. From time-resolved conebeam CTA, 2 experienced readers evaluated the clot burden and
Editor’s Choice This Level 1 expedited report was a pragmatic, multicenter, parallel, randomized (1:1) trial evaluating patients who were at high risk of aneurysm recurrence after endovascular treatment, including patients with large aneurysms (Patients Prone to Recurrence After Endovascular Treatment
Fellows’ Journal Club The purpose of this study was the evaluation of procedural and outcome data of patients 90 years of age or older undergoing endovascular stroke treatment. The authors retrospectively analyzed prospectively collected data of 29 patients (mean age
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors reviewed the impact of revascularization on clinical outcomes in 83 patients with M2 occlusions in the Interventional Management of Stroke III trial according to specific M1–M2 segment anatomic features. AnmRS 0–2 outcome was associated with
