The anterior cerebral artery (ACA) contains anatomical variants that are closely related to its embryology and development. In this study, the authors reviewed the most commonly encountered variants of the ACA and anterior communicating artery. They also reviewed the embryological origins of these variants as well as a variety of associated patholo...

Successful mechanical embolectomy for acute embolic arterial occlusion in the posterior cerebral circulation can potentially result in less neurologic disability and mortality. The transradial approach can potentially offer more direct navigation into the posterior circulation than the transfemoral approach and can result in faster recanalization t...

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is the most common type of spinal vascular malformation. The main purpose of endovascular treatment is to occlude the fistula site and the proximal part of the draining vein. However, this is not always possible because of the difficulty of selective catheterization in patients with tortuous feeding arteri...

We report the first experience with a new intracranial catheter as an adjunct to mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke patients. We prospectively determined technical success, intended procedure (device delivery at target lesion) completion without a need for a different catheter, technical ease, and intended procedure completion without...

The limited research on the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhages (aSAHs) has not assessed the efficacy of neurology-led care. Our objective was to describe aSAH patients' outcomes after transitioning from a neurosurgery-led intensive care unit (ICU) to a neurology-led multidisciplinary care neurocritical care unit (NCCU). The study hyp...

Determining cerebral infarction volume is an important part of preclinical studies to determine the benefit of potential therapies on stroke outcome. A well-known problem in determining the actual infarction volume of rodent models is the presence of edema. Because of this, algorithms must be utilized to obtain the edema-adjusted (E A)-infarct volu...

To study the feasibility, safety, and durability of the dual stent-assisted coil embolization (DSCE) technique using low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS) device. Retrospective review of our aneurysm database to identify all the patients treated with LVIS stent-assisted embolization between July 2015 and June 2017 was performed. 15% of...

Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) due to cerebral vasospasm following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has long been recognized as a major source of morbidity and mortality. Early detection of cerebral vasospasm and identification of patients who are likely to become symptomatic is crucial to guide aggressive medical and/or endovascular inte...

This retrospective study was aimed at assessing our results of endovascular management in vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM). This is a retrospective study of 26 patients of VGAM who underwent endovascular treatment between 1998 and 2012. All patients underwent trans-arterial embolization. Of 26 patients, 23 were treated using n-butyl cya...
