Editor’s Choice Data were retrospectively collected for 105 patients with acute ischemic stroke (55 patients with successful recanalization [TICI 2b/2c/3] and large-vessel occlusions and 50 patients without interventions). Final infarct volumes were calculated using DWI and FLAIR 24 hours following

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors’ aim was to analyze the outcomes after flow diversion among nonsaccular unruptured lesions. Fifteen studies (213 aneurysms) were included in the analysis. The long-term adequate occlusion rate was 85.3%. Treatment-related complications were 17.4%. Overall, 15%
Editor’s Choice The purpose of this study was to calculate the number needed to treat to save 1 life at 1 year and up to 5 years after vertebral augmentation. A 10-year sample of the 100% US Medicare data base
Fellows’ Journal Club Twenty-nine patients with Moyamoya disease were enrolled in this study. The median age at symptom onset was 12 years. A total of 166 steno-occlusive lesions were detected by high-resolution intracranial vessel wall imaging. Eleven lesions with concentric
Editor’s Choice The authors evaluated whether, in acute ischemic stroke, iodine concentration within contrast-stained parenchyma compared with an internal reference in the superior sagittal sinus on dual-energy CT could predict subsequent intracerebral hemorrhage in 71 patients. Forty-three of 71 patients
Fellows’ Journal Club Fifty patients with high-grade gliomas from the authors’ hospital and 128 patients with high-grade gliomas from The Cancer Genome Atlas were included in this study. For each patient, the authors calculated 348 hand-crafted radiomics features and 8192
Editor’s Choice Does Embolization with Larger Coils Lead to Better Treatment of Aneurysms (DELTA) was an investigator-initiated multicenter prospective, parallel, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Patients had 4- to 12-mm unruptured aneurysms. Treatment allocation to either 15- (experimental group) or 10-caliber

Stroke. 2019;50(10):2790-2798. doi:10.1161/STROKEAHA.119.026259 The authors assessed the accuracy and speed of a commercially available fully automated LVO-detection tool in a
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors performed a retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study to assess the prevalence and characteristic features of cerebellar heterotopias in 35 patients with CHARGE syndrome with available brain MR imaging studies, as well as to evaluate additional features
