Editor’s Choice The authors investigated the role of emergent endovascular stenting of long-segment carotid dissections in the acute ischemic stroke setting in 15 patients. They specifically evaluated long-segment carotid dissections requiring stent reconstruction with multiple tandem stents (≥ 3 stents)
Fellows’ Journal Club The purpose of this study was to evaluate the yield of repeat 3D rotational angiography in patients with aneurysmal-type SAH with negative initial 3D rotational angiography findings. Between March 2013 andJanuary 2016, 292 patients with SAH and
Editor’s Choice This is a retrospective analysis of 484 patients in a prospectively collected stroke data base. The inclusion criteria were anterior circulation ischemic stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy at a single institution between September 2010 and October 2015 with
Fellows’ Journal Club This is a retrospective review of 48 patients with 50 carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms in which 44 patients with 46 aneurysms were treated with flow diversion from June 2009 to June 2015. There were no permanent adverse visual outcomes.
Editor’s Choice Ocular signs are unusual in the presentation of cranial dural arteriovenous fistulas in locations other than the cavernous sinus. Between 2000–2015, 13 patients met the inclusion criteria for this retrospective analysis. The most common signs were chemosis (61.5%),
Editor’s Choice This is a retrospective subanalysis of the IntrePED study, which has beenpreviously published (AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 2015;36:108–15).Seven hundred ninety-three patients with 906 treated aneurysms were enrolled. Thirty-six (4.5%) patients had postoperative acute ischemic stroke, 21 of which
Fellows’ Journal Club This observational cohort study evaluated 32 patients with 32 acutely ruptured aneurysms endovascularly treated with the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device. The mean aneurysm size was 4.9 mm, with 14 less than or equal to 4 mm, and
Editor’s Choice The authors analyzed all carotid artery dissection tandem occlusion strokes and isolated anterior circulation occlusions from their ongoing prospective stroke data base. For carotid artery dissection, the revascularization procedure consisted of initial distal recanalization by a stent retriever

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors investigated the impact of early extubation and ventilation duration in a cohort of 103 patients that underwent thrombectomy under general anesthesia. Prolonged ventilation was associated with pneumonia during hospitalization and unfavorable functional outcome (mRS greater
